Conference Session: “Unique Teaching Ventures”

Hello,

Jordan Green and I are moderating this session at the upcoming MLA/SLA conference. We would love to include some short presentations (5-ish minutes) as part of our session. If you are attending the conference in person and have a unique teaching venture you would like to speak about, please get in touch! Below is the description for the session.

Unique Teaching Ventures: Making Inroads in New Areas

Description: Why is this librarian showing us cartoons? What are Latex (with or without Overleaf) and JupyterLab? Can my librarian help with data visualization and story maps? Why are these library course guides linked in my class? See how librarians are using different methods to reach users, and how these methods move beyond the traditional “search, evaluate, and cite” one-shot session. Presenters will share successful strategies for teaching excellence including non-information literacy opportunities to pursue in the classroom and breaking the instructor mold by teaching in new ways. Attendees will also learn about opportunities librarians have in the classroom to promote principles of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI).

If you have any questions about this session, please let me (hartj@uchicago.edu) and Jordan (jordan22@email.unc.edu) know.

Best,

Jenny Hart
