Interlocutor Instruction Session

Brett Kochendorfer and I taught a 45 minute instruction session pertaining to teacher and librarian collaboration. The accompanying website highlights the resources that were covered in the presentation, and allowed for collaborative group work at the end of the instruction session. Many thanks to Brett for the website design.

Strategic Planning Task Force

I had the privilege of working on the Strategic Planning Task Forces division of Collaboration at Loyola University Chicago’s libraries. This task force dealt with writing the new Strategic Plan for Loyola University’s libraries.
The final written document was a collaboration between the three divisions of the Task Force (Collaboration, Collections, and Identity) and the Library Leadership Team.
This document is the final draft of the three divisions visions brought together for the new Strategic Plan.

In process: Online Tutorials for Loyola University Libraries

I am currently working with librarians from the Reference Department at Cudahy Libray at Loyola University Chicago to develope online guides and tutorials to introduce students to the library catalog and the recently implemented WorldCat Local.
The online guides and tutorials will be featured on the the libraries Libguides.
I am also helping to create sample searches and short activities that can be used during instruction sessions in the courses Loyola 101/UNIV101 and UCWR 110 (College Writing Seminar course that includes library research).
