ASIS&T SIG/ED members invite you to attend their March 27th webinar: Ready or Not, You Will Teach, and Here Is How You Can Get Ready! Webinar Date: Wednesday, March 27, 2013, 2:00pm-3:00pm (EDT) Presenter: Dr. Charles C. Curran, Distinguished Professor Emeritus, School of Library & Information Science, University of South Carolina This webinar on the teaching responsibilities of academic librarians is offered at the urgings of observers who note two things: academic librarians do lots of teaching and many academic librarians approach this task with little training in teaching. Therefore, this session will examine those aspects of Information Literacy (IL) that impact teaching responsibilities—the “so what?” of the Google Age, the proficiencies academic librarians must acquire in order to make IL happen, and the partnerships with faculty that academic librarians must forge. The webinar will present some specific recommendations for professors who train MLIS students to be academic librarians and for the MLIS students, themselves. Registration is free for ASIS&T members, $25 for non-members.
