How can we improve the LIRT website? Take our survey!!

Sunday, July 9, 2000
9:30 am - 12:30 pm

As teaching librarians, we are always "on stage". Like actors and other performers, our ability to communicate our message depends not only on content but on how well we present ourselves:

  • What can we learn from the theatrical professions to enhance our teaching?
  • What techniques can we use to connect with our audience?
This practical program will focus on ways to improve library instruction through better presentation skills.

Speakers:

Monika Antonelli
Reference Librarian
University of North Texas Libraries

Teaching As Performance
PowerPoint Slides
Joe Dempsey
