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.
