Greetings. Those of you interested in core competencies for students, and/or in instruction of students in the design and arts fields, I invite you to read on! Integrating research skills or core compentencies into the curriculum is a common theme for many instruction librarians. An informal group has been working on developing drafts of core competencies for students in several of the design and arts disciplines. At this point we would like to invite your initial feedback on this effort. The draft competencies are posted on the net. The link to the page is posted on the ARLIS/NA site in the members-only section [at the top of the page: "View Design Student Competencies and Provide Feedback."] At this point we are asking for feedback from ARLIS/NA members only, with one of the areas we are exploring being whether this is something that ARLIS/NA should endorse. Thanks in advance for your help on this.
