ALA Annual Conference Program
ACRL Instruction Section Program
"Instruction for First-Year Students" is the theme of this year's ACRL
Instruction Section program, being held on Sunday, July 9, 2000, from
2:00-4:30pm at the Marriott Downtown Grand Ballroom II (7th floor).
First-year college students are often net-savvy and graphically oriented,
and more likely to have shorter attention spans. Students are also coming
to campus with differing levels of technological expertise. Are instruction
librarians teaching first-year students in the best way possible?
Sponsored by the ALA/ACRL Instruction Section and cosponsored by the
American Association of School Librarians (AASL), this program will explore
characteristics of these students, survey what they are learning about
information resources and strategies in high school, and investigate
programmatic innovations at the institutional and library levels that meet
first-year students' needs.
Speakers include Randy Burke Hensley, Public Services Division Head,
University of Hawaii at Manoa Libraries, Frances Jacobson, University High
School Librarian, University Laboratory High School, University of Illinois
at Urbana-Champaign and Margit Misangyi Watts, Director Rainbow
Advantage/Freshman Seminar Programs, University of Hawaii at Manoa.
