Abstract

This qualitative case study explored librarians’ and social workers’ experiences in an online scenario-game-based training program for Responsive Librarianship, a model for the delivery of personalised library services in response to a health or wellness concern. Analysis was conducted using the Community of Asynchronous Interprofessional Learning Model to determine how participants’ responses to course design and activities related to community of practice characteristics. Findings from this study explain how an online training program influences the development of professional identity among librarians and social workers in an interprofessional community of practice learning to provide Responsive Librarianship.
