5 Things You Should Read About Copyright and Sharing Your Instructional Materials
June 20, 2008 on 9:43 am | In Articles, Tools for teaching | No CommentsAre you paranoid? I mean, cautious and conscientious? Then the first in a series of what will probably be many publications from the new ACRL IS Research & Scholarship committee is for you. You’ll find “5 Things You Should Read About Copyright and Sharing Your Instructional Materials” Here
“The recommended “5 Things” are intended to be eclectic and thought-provoking, and are drawn not only from traditional library literature but also from popular magazines and newspapers, the blogosphere, archived web presentations, and other media. (They) hope the “5 Things” will spark discussion among instruction librarians both on ILI-L and in person at the conference and in our libraries.”
Updates From LOEX Of The West 2008
June 10, 2008 on 10:51 am | In Tools for teaching, Uncategorized | No CommentsI’ve just returned from LOEX in lovely Las Vegas. It was a short, intense, great experience–I wanted to share some of the great resources and methods I picked up while I was there. One session I attended was The Cephalonian Experience: how to bring some Greek sunshine to your library orientation given by Nigel Morgan from Cardiff University in Wales. This method is hard to explain quickly, I’d encourage you to read his short article: MORGAN, N and DAVIES, L., 2004. Innovative library induction- introducing the ‘Cephalonian Method’ Sconul Focus, 32, pp.4-8. Essentially the library instruction session is interactive, colorful, spontaneous, incorporates music and I am totally going to try it in the Fall. Nedra Peterson’s It Came From Hollywood: using popular media to illustrate information literacy concepts in the classroom was another winner-It was library instruction interspersed with film and tv clips that demonstrated certain important research techniques and strategies- Party Girl of course, but also Buffy The Vampire Slayer, and one of my favorite scenes from High Fidelity, when Rob organizes his record collection autobiographically. She has all of her resources in RefShare.
Another favorite was Peer Review 2.0: giving today’s students the tools to create tomorrow’s scholarship on the emerging web by Anne-Marie Deitering & Kate Gronemyer. Thought provoking and smart as hell, bringing up issues of what Authority really means. Check out Anne Marie’s blog post on their presentation here and then do as I did and put info-fetishist in the feed reader of your choice ASAP.
