On the topic of library instruction sessions, I don't recall anyone mentioning that they schedule/publicize/hold their own instruction sessions. Does anyone do that as well? I'd be interested in hearing details--off list if interest in this thread is waning. At UW, there is a "walk-in" workshop program. The libraries on their own initiative decide they will hold instruction sessions on, say, "finding art-related journal articles" or "finding resources at libraries worldwide." The main library webpage lists all the campus library workshops, and individual libraries may do additional publicity with signs in the library or email notices. Attendance is voluntary. And, in case you're wondering, students do in fact attend!--although some libraries are seeing their numbers drop. I'm especially interested in these "voluntary- attendance" sessions, because that program is now being downplayed here at UW in favor of a push toward more "course-related instruction." Integrating library instruction into academic programs is certainly desirable and is the iniative of the moment as well. I have no objection (quite the contrary) to offering BI in coursework or for independent credit or at colloquia or any other way it can be shoehorned in. But in certain situations I think it can also be effective to publicize library instruction directly to the students. So, my questions are along the lines of: Does your library offer its own BI workshops? If so, what is the attendance/response like? Comments on past histories of such programs are also appreciated.
