One suggestion was to offer some kind of programming related to the new ACRL Framework. It was also suggested that traveling to typical GLA meeting places, such as Macon, Atlanta, and Athens, was difficult because of budget and time constraints. In response, Casey Long, chair of the Professional and Continuing Education (PACE) Interest Group and ALD members sought volunteers to turn this idea into action. On July 10, 2015, the Academic Library Division, in conjunction with GLA’s PACE interest group, hosted a webinar workshop entitled ‘ACRL & Information Literacy: Bringing the “Framework” into Focus,’ facilitated by Joelle Pitts, an instructional design librarian and assistant professor at Kansas State University Libraries. It was truly an interactive experience involving nine host sites throughout the state with participants from over thirty institutions in attendance. The session was recorded, and, when editing is complete, ALD will post the link to the GLA listserv. It took a lot of people to make this event happen. ALD sincerely extends thanks to the planning team and to those who volunteered to facilitate at the various sites, including:  Planning Team: Paula Adams (Columbus State University), Amanda Albert (Kennesaw State University), Michelle Jones (Columbus State University), Casey Long (Agnes Scott College), Amanda Mckenzie (East Georgia Technical College), Carter Nipper (Central Georgia Technical College), and Joan Taylor (Clayton State University).  Facilitators: Paula Adams (Columbus State University), Amanda Albert (Kennesaw State University), Catherine Bowers (Valdosta State University), Roy Calhoun (Albany Technical College), Debbie Holmes (College of Coastal Georgia), Amanda Mckenzie (East Georgia Technical College), Angela Megaw (University of North Georgia), Kara Mullen (Clayton State University), and Elijah Scott (Georgia Highlands College).  ALD hopes to build on the success of the ACRL Framework webinar workshop and make the ALD Summer Webinar Workshop an annual event.   §  GLA Academic Library Division at COMO   Traditionally the GLA Academic Library Division (ALD) sponsors an academic papers competition.

The winning paper was authored by Jennifer Young, who was awarded a cash prize and a plaque at the COMO conference awards ceremony. Jennifer presented her paper “Can Libraries Be Fun? Using Games to Enhance Library Instruction” during a GLA/ALD sponsored session at COMO. Jennifer graciously donated her award money to the GLA Scholarship Fund Fund in order to support travel to COMO for the scholarship winners next year.   This year at COMO, the GLA/ALD also sponsored a session to foster discussion on the new ACRL Framework Guidelines. “Choose Your Own Adventure: Journey through the ACRL Framework,” was presented by Casey Long, Rebecca Rose, Chris Sharpe, and Amanda Albert. In addition, ALD sponsored a workshop on “Researching Information Literacy: Scholarship of Teaching and Learning Techniques for Starting a Research Project,” facilitated by Rebecca Rose and Denise Domizi.  §  2016 Election Results  Incoming Chair: Rebecca Rose, Head Librarian and Associate Professor, University of North Georgia, Cumming Campus  Vice-Chair/Chair Elect: Sofia Slutskaya, Catalog Librarian, Georgia Perimeter College   Secretary: Ariel Turner, Automation and Batch Cataloging Librarian, Kennesaw State University  ACRL Chapters Council Representative*: Kimberly Boyd, Research and Instruction Librarian, Brenau University   * Three year term.
