Speed Training: Teaching in a Hurry
- Molly Susan Matthias, UW-Milwaukee Libraries, and Pamela O'Donnell, College Library, UW-Madison
Are you short on time in a library workshop? What if you have only fifteen minutes to teach your colleagues about a new database? Do you try to sneak in some instruction while answering questions at the Reference Desk? Attend this session and learn to develop succinct and effective lessons (with built-in assessment) for patrons, students and library staff. Because brief, but active, training is both memorable and efficient, participants will learn quick instruction techniques and abbreviated assessment methods. Expect to work in small groups on different training scenarios and to create active material to present to workshop attendees.

Those Who Can, Teach: Becoming a More Effective "One Shot" Trainer (and Explainer) - Michele Besant, SLIS, UW-Madison; Carrie Nelson and Pamela O'Donnell, College Library, UW-Madison
What do you know about yourself as a learner? Does it affect how you present information to others? What about the tenth time you present a workshop? How can you keep the material fresh and yourself engaged? This program will model integrating material for different learning styles, demonstrate how to “own” material and keep it interesting, and offer tips to make user education, staff training, and service desk interactions more successful (and pleasurable) for all.

a World of Information to Your Community" with Pamela O'Donnell

explore how these tips can increase the quality of results in Google
Scholar, and showcase the ever-increasing scope of Google Books.

2007
WAAL Conference, Wisconsin Dells, WI
"Family Feud: The Rewards of Meeting
Up and Teaming Up" with Janice Rice, Kelli Keclik, and Karen
Dunn (UW-Madison) - Who says teaching students about libraries is all
serious business? Consider the lighter side of life, and use games
like Family Feud and Jeopardy to instruct and train students. Find
out how much students know about our libraries and hear about their
creative visions of an ideal academic library. Join in the collegiate
spirit of challenging games and competition, as three librarians
share how they teamed up with campus student services programs and
used games as teaching tool.
"Inquiry Based Research: Process as a means
to Discovery" with Kristin Woodward and Molly Susan Mathias
(UW-Milwaukee) -
Librarians have adapted to find the “teachable
moment” in one-shot workshops, while faculty can devote an
entire semester to developing student writing as a process of discovery.
In collaboration with Composition program coordinators and instructors,
Research and Instructional Support at the UW-Milwaukee Libraries
has conceptualized an Inquiry Based Research Curriculum. Our challenge
is we often focus on post-evaluation and observable skills, whereas
faculty might use a rubric that asks questions about the level of
“engagement” students have had with inquiry and how
research sources were used in the final product. Attendees will
create a plan to assist them in developing an “Inquiry Based”
Instruction process for their instruction sessions.
2006 WLA Conference, Wisconsin Dells
2006 WEMA Conference, Wisconsin Dells
- Building on the K-12 Foundation
Laurel Privatt, Mt. Mary College, and Rebecca Bark, Alverno College
Although we are often identified by the setting we work in, instruction
librarians do much the same work. A sample college instruction session
will demonstrate how academic librarians build on the foundations
provided in the K-12 schools. This session is sponsored by the Library
User Education Round Table of WLA.
2005 WLA Conference, La Crosse
- Skills for Library Leadership
Laurel Privatt, Public Services Coordinator, Mount Mary College,
Milwaukee; Valerie Edwards, IMC Director, Monona Grove High School
Librarians use a variety of leadership skills to promote and
direct their programs. This session will involve the discussion,
sharing, and practice of critical leadership characteristics and
skills. It is of particular importance in this economic and political
environment that librarians use every means possible to ensure
the continuation of high quality service. All library leaders,
current and future, are encouraged to attend this session.

- Mentoring Future Library Leaders: Tools for Professional Growth
Tom Howe, Coordinator, Wisconsin New Teacher Project, UW-Madison;
Sharon Nelson, Program Director, Wisconsin New Teacher Project,
UW-Madison
This three-hour workshop explored the varied roles and responsibilities
of mentorship. Mentoring requires focusing and reflecting on professional
norms and standards as well as best practice models. Mentoring
strategies and tools were introduced and practiced in this groundbreaking
double session. Anyone working with new and emerging library leaders
and hoping to give an exciting boost to their own professional
practice was encouraged to attend this dynamic program.

- Librarians and E-learning by Jane Pearlmutter, SLIS, UW-Madison
Whether it's called e-learning, distance learning or online instruction,
learning via the Internet has become a reality in our profession.
Some librarians have the opportunity to take online courses for
training or continuing education. Some may be finding more library
users requesting assistance with online courses. The variety of
delivery options can be confusing. In this session, Jane Pearlmutter
will introduce several of the more typical scenarios for e-learning.
She will be discussing the advantages and disadvantages of the different
systems from the student's point of view and addressing some of
the challenges and issues that arise in the online learning environment.
Also discussed will be issues for libraries, as they provide support
to users taking online courses.
