Librarians' Summer Institutes


Academic librarians have long had a strong interest in the instructional role they can play at their institutions, but need to find new ways to collaborate with faculty to make research instruction more strongly embedded in the curriculum, particularly in the increasingly complex information environment. The IMLS has provided funding for two summer institutes for college librarians for six regional Oberlin Group colleges. The first summer institute focused on pedagogical issues facing libraries in the current hybrid information environment. The second summer institute will deal with assessing student learning and using what we learn to guide our programs.

First Summer Institute: Information Literacy and the Liberal Arts
Second Summer Institute: Assessing Student Learning
