Library Orientation Series: #34
Edited by Julia K. Nims, Randal Baier, Rita Bullard, and Eric Owen
The keynote speaker at the 30th National LOEX Conference, Dane Ward, inspired
conference atendees to
focus on the process of teaching and implementing information literacy
programs. He set the goal of achieving an information-literate
student population. His optimistic message prepared the audience for the
next two days of the conference.
The featured speaker, Mary Reichel, President
of the Association of College and Research Libraries, stressed the
teaching role of all librarians, not only those whose primary responsibility
is library instruction. She encouraged conference attendees to broaden
perspectives on their roles in the academic mission of their
institutions.
Dan Ream challenged attendees to question if students are as
enthusiastic about information literacy as librarians are. Do they
understand what information literacy is? Do they believe librarians
can help them become information literate? Dan provided a reality
check, and offered related advice and insights.
Numerous presenters of breakout sessions shared their experiences
and insights with the participants. Their sessions ranged from streaming
video and library instruction to revising a research assignment to instructional
design principles to collaborating with faculty. They addressed many diverse
issues that are part of our information literacy landscape, and provided useful
guidance for making all related programs more productive and effective.
The detailed table of contents (below) reveals the breadth and usefulness of this
conference -- and conference proceedings.
