DE Oracle @ UMUC

Twenty science faculty members participated in a CTL online workshop, Information Literacy in the Natural Sciences. ILS contributed course content and helped to facilitate the workshop, along with stateside and Asia Division natural sciences instructors.

Stephen Miller, Interim Associate Provost for Information and Library Services, will be part of a presentation and panel discussion entitled "Responding to Web-Era Research Needs: Emerging Library Services," which will focus on the ways in which academic libraries that serve military students are responding to challenges in providing library services and information literacy education brought about by changes in information technology.

During the SUS spring faculty meeting, held on February 9, the UMUC Library provided two sessions of a faculty workshop entitled Beyond Academic Search Premier: Hidden Gems in the Library Databases. This workshop highlighted some of the library database features that may not be as well-known to faculty. Given that each session was only allotted an hour in order to meet the day's meeting agendas, the librarians were only able to provide a "tasting" of some of the many available features.

Information and Library Services joined with the School of Undergraduate Studies' sciences department to offer a second session of the 10-day CTL workshop, Information Literacy in the Natural Sciences.

ILS' popular series of online workshops for faculty continues through November 1. In these workshops, you will hear a librarian speaking to you in real-time while you receive instruction on how to make the most of a particular library resource or service.
