On Sunday, June 29, 1997, at ALA Annual, the '97 LIRT program will feature, "Focus on the Student: Emphasizing Learning Styles." This informative program will host a panel presentation that will explain, examine and explore how students learn in today's electronic libraries. The presenters are Debra Jones, Internet Librarian, Cabrillo College, Gail Junion-Metz, President, Information Age Consultants, and Lynn Sutton, Director, Undergraduate Library, Wayne State University. Each presenter will offer a look at a particular aspect of learning. Ms. Junion-Metz will look at what every librarian needs to know about learning styles; Lynn Sutton will outline how the new undergraduate library at Wayne State University has focused on student learning in its design and services; and Debra Jones will present critical thinking as a key component of student learning. Plan on attending and participating in this informative session! There will be handouts and bibliographies to add to your teaching portfolios! See you in San Francisco!
