Trine Librarians Present Research at State Conference
Your librarians are highly sought-after experts! Trine librarians Carly Statz and Lauren Magnuson each presented individual research at the 2010 Indiana Library Federation (ILF) Conference in Indianapolis this week. ILF is one of the largest library associations in the United States, and its members include representatives from Indiana college, public, and school libraries.Carly's presentation, titled "We can Work it Out: Faculty Liaison Programs at Small Colleges and Universities" was sponsored by the Indiana Academic Librarians Association and detailed how a smaller college can create successful relationships with college faculty. Following the presentation, Carly answered questions and discussed challenges and solutions with the audience.
Lauren's presentation, titled "This Ever-Increasing Assault upon our Ears: Information Literacy for High School, College, and Beyond" was sponsored by the Instruction & Education Division of ILF and explored how information literacy is a crucial part of college readiness of high school graduates. The discussion that followed elicited several ideas for further collaboration between high school and college librarians to improve freshman students' preparation for college-level research.
For questions or more information, e-mail Carly at statzc@trine.edu or Lauren at magnusonl@trine.edu.
