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 End of year Event
Every December and May, PSEC Instruction leads an end of semester event that highlights a variety of instruction methods being taught, in addition to conducting workshops and training on how to improve instruction. Topics include: assessment, teaching with technology, threshold concepts, and curriculum development. Librarians working on new projects are invited to share their work with the larger instruction group.
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.
