ACM Information Literacy Project

ACM/Coe College/ACRL Regional Information Literacy Immersion Program

Coe College, July 11-16, 2003

  • Dates: July 11-16, 2003
  • Location: Coe College, Cedar Rapids, IA
  • Workshop funded by the ACM Information Literacy Program with a grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation
  • Workshop conducted by the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL)

Faculty from the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) conducted a regional information literacy program over a five-day period, July 11-16, 2003. The program, sponsored by ACM and hosted by Coe College, was funded by the ACM Information Literacy Program with a grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

Unique among ACRL immersion programs, the sessions at Coe were open not only to academic librarians, but to faculty and instructional technologists as well. About 50 people attended.

Program curricula offered two tracks

The program curricula was offered on two tracks. Track I focused on individual development for those interested in enhancing, refreshing, or extending their individual instruction skills. Curriculum for Track I participants included classroom techniques, learning theory, leadership, and assessment framed in the context of information literacy. Track II addressed the challenges of developing, integrating, and managing institutional and programmatic information literacy programs. Participants selected for Track II developed individual case studies in advance of the immersion program.

The Information Literacy Immersion Program was structured to address information literacy issues of particular relevance to residential liberal arts colleges.
