LibGuides: A Resource for Every Teaching Situation and Learning Style

National-Louis University Library uses LibGuides as an online resource guide and a tool to deliver instruction online and in person. This poster highlights some successful guides that go beyond the traditional subject guide. By incorporating Web 2.0 technologies, by addressing different learning styles, and by providing access to resources found within and beyond the library, the research guides represent a unique way to promote library resources and services and to support our library’s instruction program

Prioritizing Library Instruction: Challenges and Opportunities Moving into the Digital Age

The role of librarian as teacher is shifting as we experience changes in our institutions, in technology, and in our communities. We must identify opportunities to address these issues and shape the future of our profession. Drawing upon the experience of moving from traditional library sessions to offering credit courses integrated into the curriculum of college programs, the four facilitators will lead participants in a collaborative session to identify the challenges and opportunities of integrating librarians as teachers into the student experience. Participants should bring questions, challenges, and opportunities they are facing at their own institutions. Through group discussion and smaller facilitated breakout sessions, attendees will work towards a new collaborative vision of the librarian/teacher in the digital age
