Tiber CaféSharing
ideas
Marketing myself
Meeting other faculty
Benefits
2. Networking
Students saw me at the same time as a:• reference (point/librarian)• classmate (doubts, opinions)
Benefits
3. Interacting
Lesson learned - Every character in this story learnt something
• Easier, more direct relationship with students and more beneficial to them
• Better understanding of the overall educational system
• Acquisition of new teaching techniques• Outreach to other faculty and better networking
Lesson learned - Every character in this story learnt something
• Librarians as “friendly faces”• Research appointments can be shared • Feedback on instruction
• A librarian in class is an added resource• Closer collaboration with library staff • Collaborative experience • More vibrant classroom • Better research experience for the students
Lesson learned - Every character in this story learnt something
• Increased confidence with librarians and library resources
• Research appointments make using library services a habit
• The librarian in class knows what the professor wants
NEGATIVE:impropriety of thirdperson during one-on-one conferences
And Now?
Good training stategy for new library instructors
