I think the trick is that the classes are seen as a part of the normal syllabus for the class and are usually termed library research. They are often solicited by the faculty and scheduled a bit later so students have had time to select topics. All of the classes are course-based and I do give credit to Jack Robertson for suggesting the idea of web guides. I have found that web guides (www.lib.virginia.edu/fine-arts/guides.html) that accompany the session as well as tailoring the session to the content of the class make a better sell when trying to coax new faculty into the program. We do have resistant faculty, though, but I have tried to suggest that their graduate students make individual appointments and receive guided help. That idea has begun to bring some of the more reserved faculty and students into the library instruction program lately. I would welcome an another ARLIS session on some of these issues in library instruction, since this is an ongoing job for me. Do others teach library instruction classes on a regular basis? It would be a good topic for the Baltimore conference I think. yours, Lucie -- Lucie Wall Stylianopoulos Collections Coordinator Fiske Kimball Fine Arts Library University of Virginia Charlottesville, Virginia 22903 tele. 434-924-6604 [log in to unmask] __________________________________________________________________ Mail submissions to [log in to unmask] Administrative matters (file requests, subscription requests, etc) to [log in to unmask] ARLIS-L Archives and subscription maintenance: http://lsv.uky.edu/archives/arlis-l.html Questions may be addressed to list owner (Kerri Scannell) at: [log in to unmask]
