Recordings of webinars recently organised by the ACRL Instruction Section Management and Leadership Committee are now available:
Char Booth: Cultivating Campus Collaboration http://ala.adobeconnect.com/p3asujae6d4/ ("For librarians who work in information literacy program development, creating and sustaining meaningful ties with a diverse range of campus stakeholders is an essential and complex task. This webinar will involve participants in a discussion about cultivating effective institutional collaborations, from identifying and engaging potential partners to curriculum mapping strategies to assessing (and sometimes ending) campus relationships.")
Sara Lowe: Developing Learning Outcomes http://ala.adobeconnect.com/p54qgg8dc4c/ ("For librarians who teach, learning outcomes are vital. Without them, it is difficult to assess learning and gauge success. This session will discuss all aspects of learning outcomes so that participants can integrate them into their teaching practice.")
