WILU 2007

Janet Hollingsworth, Liaison & Information Literacy Librarian (University of Guelph-Humber) and Mark Bryant, Reference & Information Literacy Librarian (Humber) will be presenting at the 36th annual WILU – (Workshops in Library Instruction) conference which will be hosted at York University in May. The title of their presentation is How to Serve More than One Master: A Case-study in Collaboration.

Here is an excerpt from their proposal:

Humber College has partnered with the University of New Brunswick for several years. Most recently, Humber has partnered with the University of Guelph to provide service to the new University of Guelph-Humber. Serving the needs of all three unique groups has been challenging. The promotion, integration and delivery of IL has proved to be an overwhelming task. How does one efficiently and effectively teach IL skills to students enrolled in Bachelor Degree Programs, Certificate and Diploma Programs, and Postgraduate Programs? The collaborative unions have forced us to re-examine the existing IL program. This is a case-study of how we are addressing the integration and delivery of IL in our diverse environment.
