      Questions:
      -

         How do you see reference interactions as a “form of teaching?”/How
         do you “teach” when you’re on the desk?
         -

         Do you think that the “stance of neutrality” Kate mentions on page
         6 is possible in a critical reference dialogue? Why/why not?
         -

         What about your physical reference desk is conducive to teaching
         and conversing with students? If there are elements that
aren’t, what are
         some ways to work around them?
         -

         Can we co-create critical dialogues with students through chat
         reference?
         -

         How can we apply critical pedagogy to the museum environment? Do
         you have a docent training program that could incorporate
these techniques?

We also have two sessions that the group proposed this year: Reshaping
Library Instruction within Art & Design Education: Experimenting and
implementing the Info Lit Framework
<https://arlisnavra2016.sched.org/event/4Ny3/reshaping-library-instruction-within-art-design-education-experimenting-and-implementing-the-info-lit-framework>*

I look forward to seeing you all in Seattle in a couple short weeks!

All the best,
Amanda
