RELEVANCE OF LSC 524 TO OTHER COURSES AND
TO THE FIELD
1. It will be absolutely necessary for
future academic librarians, particularly those in
public services. Information instruction is a
part of many job requirements, and a presentation is often
required as part of the interview.
2. It will be very important for future
school librarians, since library instruction is often
a major part of a media specialist's position.
3. It is important and useful for public
librarians to be knowledgeable in this area.
Public librarians often conduct tours,
point-of -use, and informal instruction, and opportunities
for more formal instruction are increasing
with the use of the Internet and other electronic tools by the
public.
4.This will complement information conveyed in other LSC courses,
such as
reference, and school media courses.

ASSIGNMENTS
A. Term Project 30%
Write a proposal to create a complete instructional program for an
academic, public, school, or special library of your choice. The following
sections should be included:
1.
A brief description of your library, institution, and community. Draw on
secondary sources for this information. What is the purpose of your
institution? What are the characteristics of your community? How do these
things affect your library and your instructional goals?
2.Rationale, goals, and objectives
a. Why do you want to establish this program?
b. Are there existing goals, objectives, and standards from professional
associations,
the state, accrediting agencies, and other
sources that can be useful, here? c. What are your own goals and objectives?
How will you be able to tell that your patrons are "information
literate"?
3.Types of instruction planned
a. What will be the subject of your instruction - assessing information
needs? Finding information?
Evaluating
information?
b. How will you present your information?
(1). Formal presentations through one-shot
lectures? Course-integrated instruction? Full courses?
(2). Occasional workshops as needs arise?
Programming and other more informal activities?
(3). Indirect instruction via guidebooks,
bibliographies, tracer bullets, or web
pages
on the Internet?
c. What audiences will you be reaching?
What is your general public like? Are there
subgroups within your population (like
preschoolers, continuing education students or a particular ethnic community)
that you may want to target in a particular way?
4.Evaluation and Assessment
a. How will you evaluate each activity and event?
b. How will you evaluate the entire instruction program?
c. How can you use assessment tools to see whether, how and how
much your patrons
may be benefiting from this program?
DUE: December 8, 2007
B. Orientation or Tour 20%
You are responsible for coordinating all
tours in your library. You will need to design a standardized tour that any
staff member or volunteer in your library can use to guide others. This would
include important sites in your library and information on library services and
collections. Please outline where a tour guide should take library patrons
while on a tour and what information should be covered at each site. Other
information (such as library hours, important rules, etc.) should also be
included.
ALTERNATIVE APPROACH: You may
want to, instead design a walking tour that a patron can use. Clear charts,
pictures, and other graphics are especially important, here. Library tours on
the Internet are also an option.
DUE: October 17, 2007
C. One-Shot Lecture on a Specific
Subject
20%
You must give a 30-45 minute library presentation about a subject of your choice for an audience of your choice in your library. You will either want to teach your class how to do research on a specific subject, such as social studies, English literature, management, child psychology, career information, or personal finance, or you may want to teach your group a specific library technique, such as online searching or how to use a catalog. You definitely want to tie your lecture to a research goal. I will ask you when you want to present your lecture and it will be due on that date. You may use a straight lecture, class activities, and any combination of the above, but you should also have visuals and other materials and methods that are designed to keep your students focused, regardless of their learning style. Evaluation of your presentation will be based on the following:
a. Is your presentation interesting?
b. Is it well-organized?
c. Is it accurate and factual?
d. Does your presentation accomplish what
it sets out to do?
e. Is the style of your presentation
appropriate to your audience?
f. How good is your speaking behavior?
g. How attractive, well-designed, and
accurate are your visual aids and your handouts?
h. Did you attempt to do other activities,
such as pre-tests, small group activities, etc. ?
How well-organized were these exercises and activities?
DUE: Presentations will be on the
following dates: 11/17, 12/1
D. Technology Assignment
20%
You will research and do a brief presentation on how to use technology
in doing instruction. Your presentation can be on one of these topics:
Since these topics are broad and your presentations brief, several of
you may want to take aspects of one subject. Suggestions of your own are also
accepted, as long as they are about using computers and other media in
instruction. Be sure to talk with me before doing your technology
presentations. The Powerpoint lecture is due October 24, 2007. The other
lectures will be given and due on November 3, 2007. It is recommended
that you supply handouts and brief bibliographies as a part of your
presentations. These will be presentations to put online.
E. Self-Evaluation 10%
For one of the assignments that you do, create an evaluation rubric. Use it to evaluate what you did.
DUE: The week after the assignment that
you are evaluating or the last day of class.
