I chose to work with principle 6: assessment fosters wider improvement when representatives from across the educational community are involved. Until recently, library instruction mainly happened within public services departments; now collection development librarians are involved--and there have been several new hires in that dept. So here goes:
ReplyDeleteCollection development bibliographers will market the library research instruction program to targeted faculty in their subject areas by October 2007 in order to increase the number of library instruction sessions we teach this fall by 10 additional classes or classes in departments for whom we’ve not taught recently. The process of marketing the library instruction program will increase the involvement of the collection development bibliographers and make them more active in promoting the program. Continuous, persistent marketing to faculty results in greater faculty awareness of the program and greater likelihood that they will request instruction.
