I will be attending ALA in Anaheim next week. As incoming chair of the Instruction Section, I will be attending many, many meetings and not have much time for fun. But here are a few things I’m looking forward to (all Instruction Section sponsored, so you can look at our online schedule for times):
- The Instruction Section Soiree will be 5:30-7 Friday at the Tangerine Grill & Patio at The Anabella Hotel. This event is open to anyone with an interest in instruction, so stop on by!
- Instruction Section Discussion Groups will feature “Using the Social Web to Promote and Enhance Information Literacy” on Saturday at 4 and “Academic Library Instruction in an Online Learning Environment” Sunday afternoon at 4.
- The IS Conference Program on Sunday will be Dr. Jeff Liles, “Creating Change: Teacher Librarians and New Learners.”
Here’s the exciting part… Jeff Liles will be coming to Madison for our LILI Retreat August 14. His workshop will have the same topic as the IS Program but will have a more discussion-based structure so that we can work together on real instructional problems that we encounter in our work. Mark your calendars!
