Theory and Practice:
Papers and Session Materials Presented at the 25th National LOEX
Conference
Library Orientation Series, No. 29
Edited by Linda Shirato and Elizabeth R. Bucciarelli
Theory and Practice contains the proceedings from the
25th National LOEX Library Instruction Conference held on May
8-10, 1997 in Charleston, South Carolina. It is the 29th title in
the Library Orientation Series by Pierian Press.
The conference theme, Theory and Practice, aimed to
incorporate current theory about library instruction with examples
of how that theory was translated into everyday practice.
Presentations range from teaching with the Web to discussions of
workload burnout.
Theory and Practice includes the presentation made by the
conference keynote speaker, Cerise Oberman, Dean of Libraries and
Information Services at the State University of New York at
Plattsburgh. Oberman gave an overview of the past 20 years of
theory and practice and a new proposal for the future.
The volume includes the preconference workshop: Promoting
Reflection and Dialogue -- Preparing for Change. The program
portfolio is a self-study methodology developed by the Michigan
Library Association PREMIER project.
