This post is way overdue! This summer, our library worked with our university’s new summer bridge (aka college transition) program, which was designed to help at risk students (those at the lower end of our admittance standards) have a better … Continue reading

Student Advisory Boards

One of my many projects this semester is to work on establishing a student advisory board for my library. We have established a good relationship with the Student Government Association, so we’re getting really useful feedback and support from them. … Continue reading

So much to do, so little time

This poor little blog has been sadly neglected for the past few months. I need to get back into the habit of taking time to reflect on what I’m doing, to slow down and think about things strategically instead of … Continue reading

ACRL Immersion 2012

This past summer I got to attend the ACRL Immersion Teacher Track program. I probably should have written something up about it sooner… But, then again, there was so much information that giving it time to marinate was probably a … Continue reading

This past Friday night, I went out for dinner and drinks with a friend. It was a full week after the last day of final exams here, so we expected our tiny little town square to be free of students. … Continue reading

ALA Annual Conference

It has been a while since I posted! Keeping up with the blog dropped a few notches on the list of priorities as other things have come up, in part because I didn’t think anybody was really reading this. It’s … Continue reading

An attempt to revive my blog…

Like many students, I sat down this morning to work on a paper. For me, it’s a draft of a book chapter instead of a term paper, but whatever. I read through what I had already written, and as soon … Continue reading

Write, dammit!

I’ve had “write, dammit!” on my office whiteboard, under the list of things to do soon, for at least a couple of months. It was right below completing my pre-tenure review binder, which I turned in last week… And which … Continue reading

Gearing up for another week

I made some progress last week on writing. At least I got a draft written up about the Empty Bowls workshops. It’s more of a “what we did” kind of article instead of anything scholarly, but I do those workshops … Continue reading

A bit on reviewing and conferences

Well, it didn’t take long for my once a week posting attempt went off track. I’m in the process of getting ICL surgery to correct my vision (my eyes are too bad for LASIK!), so I’ve missed a few days … Continue reading

I flew out to Portland, OR in July to attend the Library Instruction West (formerly known as LOEX of the West) conference. I was excited to visit Portland for my first time, but a little apprehensive about my expectations for … Continue reading

The library class

Since mid August, a big chunk of my time and energy has been focused on prepping and teaching the class I teach. While many instruction librarians are focused on getting access to other people’s classes through “one-shot” instruction sessions (the … Continue reading

Teaching the new Information Literacy Framework

As I’ve mentioned before here, I am lucky enough to get to teach a semester long 2 credit hour course on information literacy. Unlike some librarians who have to figure out how to convey the complexities of evaluating a wide … Continue reading

Explicitly teaching “format as a process”

In my last post, I wrote about using parts of the latest draft of the new Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education as reading assignments in my information literacy course. This past week, my students read the section describing … Continue reading

I just returned home last night from the annual conference of the International Society for the Exploration of Teaching & Learning. This was my first time attending ISETL. It’s targeted to everyone in higher education who wants to learn and … Continue reading

Spring 2015 class

I’ve written some here before about the class I teach. This semester, though, I get to do something a little bit different. It’s still a 2 credit hour class that meets twice a week in 52 minute chunks, but I … Continue reading

Discussing ideologies and hegemony in a 1000 level class….

In my last post, I wrote about the first couple of weeks of the class I’m teaching this semester. I’m trying to post more regularly this semester to write and reflect on how this class is going. So the rest … Continue reading

We’ve had 5 class meetings since my last post about my class – some more interesting than others. On Wed, Feb 4, the plan was to work on the beginning stage of developing research questions for them to focus on … Continue reading

Wrapping up the semester

Once again, it has been a long time since I posted. Since my last post, we’ve been doing the normal LIBR 1101 material – plagiarism, searching in a couple of different databases, filter bubbles, copyright & Creative Commons, social media literacy, etc. While I’m constantly revising how I discuss those topics in class, they don’t […]

LOEX 2015 & the Framework

0
0
In the past year, I’ve interacted with the new Framework for Information Literacy, going so far as to assign the frames as required reading in my classes last fall. However, most of my conversations about it have been with other librarians in my department and #critlib participants. At LOEX, I tweeted: At #loex2015, realizing how […]
