Young Adult Books Fiction Update, 2007-2008, Gregory A. Martin

Gregory A. Martin, M.L.I.S.

Most colleges and universities with teacher training programs have collections of children's and young adult books. In many cases, the librarians who are responsible for selecting these books have a number of other responsibilities as well. This workshop is designed for those busy librarians who are not always able to devote the time they would like to selecting young adult books. We will explore selected “best” young adult books published during 2007 and 2008.

Improving Student Training Through Computer-Based Tutorials, Joshua B. Michael Jan 2008

Improving Student Training Through Computer-Based Tutorials, Joshua B. Michael

Library Faculty Publications

The use of computer-based training for student employees was explored through a recent project. Tutorials were designed and created using a free software program, Wink. The tutorials covered use of electronic resources and circulation programs and were used in training newly hired and continuing student employees. Written exercises requiring use of the information covered in the tutorials were administered subsequently. The advantages of computer-based training for aspects of student library employment were contrasted with its disadvantages. Computer-based training was found to be an effective part of training student employees.
