ILS has been notified that its proposal, The Not So Distant Librarian: Online Library Instruction to Engage Students and Faculty, was one of three—out of numerous submissions—chosen as a preconference for the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) to be held at the American Library Association Annual Conference 2009 in Chicago. This preconference will provide an opportunity for librarians from all over the country and abroad to learn practical tips and tools for designing and implementing online library instruction that addresses a variety of learning styles, engages students through active learning exercises, and fosters faculty buy-in. Preconference participants will draft an active learning exercise that meets the learning outcomes of their instruction session as part of this session. ILS librarians Robert Miller, Barb Mann, Megan Davis, and Joe Rawson drafted the proposal and Barb, Megan, and Joe will serve as the presenters.
In addition, ILS librarians Cynthia Thomes and Ed O'Donnell as well as Library Associate Sara Godbee were notified that their proposal, entitled UMUC: Critical Thinking Across the Curriculum, was accepted for the MILEX (Maryland Information Literacy Exchange) Conference 2008, whose theme is How in the World: Getting Students to Think Critically. This program will be presented in October in Timonium and all three will serve as the presenters.
