Cornell University Library Instruction Charge
Provide leadership to CUL in its commitment to effective instruction and comprehensive information literacy, through providing professional development opportunities, planning for allied initiatives, and advising CUL on strategies and goals. Within PSEC Instruction, tasks are divided into sub-teams: leadership, programming, assessment, technology and learning spaces, and libguides.
Information Literacy Assessment Expo
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.
Current Issues in Instruction
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.
