Librarians learn to teach in many ways. We attend workshops, read professional literature and network with colleagues. The 1998 LIRT Annual Conference Program in Washington DC will present representatives from three different innovative programs to discuss additional opportunities to enhance teaching skills.
Featured Speakers:
Cerise Oberman, Dean of Library and Information Services at the State University of New York at Plattsburgh, New York. She will discuss the National Information Literacy Institute.
Lynn Westbrook, Assistant Professor, School of Library and Information Studies, Texas Woman's University. Her topic is the teaching of instructional skills within the library school curriculum.
Linnea Dudley, Reference Librarian, Marygrove College. She will speak to PREMIER, a Michigan Library Association Information Literacy Roundtable project involving state-wide librarian peer support and instructional counseling.
