Sara Klink, Stark State College

This spring the Instruction Interest Group is “Getting Back to Basics with Library Instruction.” Our annual spring workshop will be on May 30th, at Stark State College in North Canton. Our workshop will feature a dynamic presentation from Immersion Faculty, Michelle Millett, a panel discussion on the Discovery Layer and a lightening round to highlight cool instruction techniques and tools.

In other IIG news, we are still accepting guest posts for our blog. Topics we are looking for include:

–Innovative uses of instructional tools (particularly those related to new technologies)

— One-shot instruction ideas

— Keeping instruction interesting

— Collaborating with departmental faculty

— Assessment (of one-shot sessions, of the program, of librarian teachers)

— Impact of the revision of ACRL’s IL competency standards on instruction

— Teaching and learning with web scale discovery
