Going Where the Students Are: Library Instruction for Online Freshmen Writing Courses
Paul Drake, University of Guam
Academic libraries traditionally present information literacy/library instruction to freshman writing course in the library. What happens when the course is presented online and never meets on campus?

Sustainable Information Literacy Instruction: Beyond the One Shot
Meredith Farkas, Portland State University
The literature is filled with studies that question the effectiveness of "one shot" library instruction. Yet models such as multiple class visits, required credit courses, and embedded librarians often require a prohibitive investment of staff time. Meredith Farkas will describe the efforts librarians have taken at Portland State University to sustainably improve information literacy instruction. From a "train the trainer" approach, to influencing course design, to creating learning objects, to flipped classroom instruction, to serving up bite-sized chunks of instruction at students' points of need, the potentials and pitfalls of each approach will be discussed.

Data, Data Everywhere: How Libraries Are Using Data to Measure Impact on Student Success
Melissa Bowles-Terry, University of Wyoming
As librarians work to prove and improve the value of library services, it is important to link our services to the missions and goals of our larger institutions. One goal most schools and universities have in common is student success. So, how does the library contribute to student success? Some libraries are doing compelling research that correlates library usage data with improved retention and grades. In this session, I'll speak about these correlations and what we can learn from them.
Inquiring Minds & Primary Sources

Propping Your Story: Bridging the Gap Between Storytime and Storytelling
Victoria Dworkin, Hawaii State Public Library
Propping Your Story: Bridging the Gap Between Story time and Storytelling
Even experienced children's librarians are sometimes afraid of making the leap from preschool storytime to oral storytelling. Many storytellers use no props, but props can be a way for librarian-tellers to make the leap. Props help you to bridge the range of ages often found in library audiences, give children visual cues to focus on and increase the “ahhh†factor. Flannel board, Velcro board, puppets and more can free you from the fear of memorizing. Learn to visualize ways to incorporate common, readily-available objects into a story. Even a single simple object can add magic to your words.

This session provides librarians with useful strategies to design information literacy instruction for online environments, by highlighting models of asynchronous information literacy instruction that was developed for undergraduates by Library and Information Science graduate students in LIS 665 Teaching Information Technology Literacy. The presenters showcase ACRL standards-based instruction, and model the active learning techniques utilized to demonstrate strategies participants can apply in online information literacy design that employs current technological tools with active exercises to create an engaged online learning environment. Presenters also share some of their challenges, successes, and lessons learned in designing asynchronous instruction.

Data, Data Everywhere: How Libraries Are Using Data to Measure Impact on Student Success
Melissa Bowles-Terry, University of Wyoming
As librarians work to prove and improve the value of library services, it is important to link our services to the missions and goals of our larger institutions. One goal most schools and universities have in common is student success. So, how does the library contribute to student success? Some libraries are doing compelling research that correlates library usage data with improved retention and grades. In this session, I'll speak about these correlations and what we can learn from them.
Inquiring Minds & Primary Sources
Michelle Colte, Hale Kula Elementary School
In this Google driven world, everything is at our fingertips, but finding quality information proves challenging for many teachers. This session reminds participants about the vast multitude of resources available via the Library of Congress. Whether it is an audio file, letter, diary entry, map or image, these glimpses into the past connect us in a more personal and profound way than merely reading a textbook. Discover resources, lessons and strategies to pique students' interest and lead them to make their own meaning--analyzing, inferring, and asking critical questions that will fuel their research.
Propping Your Story: Bridging the Gap Between Storytime and Storytelling
Victoria Dworkin, Hawaii State Public Library
Propping Your Story: Bridging the Gap Between Story time and Storytelling
Even experienced children's librarians are sometimes afraid of making the leap from preschool storytime to oral storytelling. Many storytellers use no props, but props can be a way for librarian-tellers to make the leap. Props help you to bridge the range of ages often found in library audiences, give children visual cues to focus on and increase the “ahhh†factor. Flannel board, Velcro board, puppets and more can free you from the fear of memorizing. Learn to visualize ways to incorporate common, readily-available objects into a story. Even a single simple object can add magic to your words.

Fishing in the Sea of Information: Metaphors to Make Library Concepts Stick
Joyce Tokuda, Annie Keola Kaukahi Thomas, & Joy Oehlers, Kapiolani Community College
Have you ever struggled to explain call numbers, databases, or plagiarism to students or patrons? Metaphors can be an effective and powerful tool for teaching library and research skills to our students and patrons. For example, comparing the research process to a fishing expedition allows us to apply a familiar idea to an abstract concept. In this session, we will share a number of different ideas and strategies that you can implement in your own instruction sessions or at the reference desk.
