titleCornell University Library Instruction Mission Statement
borderStylesolid

The library's instruction mission is to enhance learning and integrate information competency into the curriculum. Library staff partner with faculty and other instructors to help all members of the academic community to find their way into collections, and to master research techniques and methods. In a rapidly changing information and education environment, we help them learn the skills needed to find, read, evaluate, and use complex resources from the Cornell University Library and beyond, in a confident, efficient, and ethical fashion.

On May 29, 2014, the PSEC Instruction Team sponsored the Cornell University Library Information Literacy Assessment Expo. Almost sixty librarians from six institutions gathered at Cornell to talk assessment all day. Trudi Jacobson, Head of the Information Literacy Department at the University at Albany Libraries, spoke about assessment and the ACRL Draft Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education, and nine other librarians gave presentations on information literacy assessment.

titleCurrent Issues in Instruction
borderStylesolid
 

Current Issues in Instruction is a regular discussion group on topics pertaining to instruction, instructional technology and student learning both at CUL and elsewhere. Topic and readings for each date will be announced in advance and the discussion will focus on that particular reading topic. While we have a short list of possibilities, we welcome suggestions for topics and readings that address current issues (articles, reports, book chapters, blog postings, e-mail discussion threads, anything really). Send your suggestions to the programming committee.
