I am recruiting a few volunteer discussion facilitators for the "Birds of a Feather" session at the upcoming ALISE Conference in Philadelphia in January. "Birds" is a working lunch session on the first day of the conference (Wednesday, January 22, 2014, 12:15pm - 1:45pm) that provides an opportunity for LIS faculty who teach particular subjects to get together and discuss teaching tips, techniques, etc. As a facilitator, you would agree to attend and start off the discussion -- nothing prepared; nothing formal. Just a conversation. Facilitators are needed for the following subject areas: * Cataloging, classification, and metadata * Ethics * Reference and information services * Research methods If you plan to attend the conference and would like to facilitate one of the subjects noted above, please email me off the list to [log in to unmask] .
