COIL BI Workshop

COIL BI workshop to be held Friday, August 13, 9:00-4:00 at OSU-Tulsa.

It will feature demonstrations by 6 instructional librarians that will be 20-minute examples of what they do in actual BI sessions, and we will have discussion of the different styles and approaches they have used. This will be an excellent opportunity to see what most of us never see going on inside the classrooms, and should be a great learning opportunity for both presenters and attendees. We would also ask you all to bring examples, if you have any, of assessment or evaluation tools you use in your BI sessions, so that will be a true "show and tell." Dr. Cecelia Brown from OU-SLIS will give a closing keynote address on BI practice.

There will be a sandwich platter lunch for you to make your own sandwiches, and other refreshments and beverages will be provided. The only cost for the workshop will be $5 (at the door) to cover the catering and the refreshments. We need a head count for the catering, so at that time (not now please), I will ask you to send an RSVP to me to let us know how many to expect.

The content sections below are what the demos will tentatively cover. Look for more details and presenters shortly.
