Art of Questioning in Instruction

Thanks to all who came to my interactive workshop at LOEX! I emailed participants the handout and all the questions that everyone came up with. If anyone has pictures of the session, could you please email me them?

LOEX was a blast

Still decompressing from LOEX - didn't take any pictures so I went on to flickr and found some (thanks carrie donovan)! The fire marshall could have totally busted me for too many people in a room - but how could I say no!

Now I am trying to find a home for my presentation to be a workshop. ACRL Themes just didn't fit this year.

In the Future Libraries Will Burn.

Today I did an English Composition class. As part of the class we discussed fee verus free resources.

The students had to draw a picture of what the campus library would look like if all information was free. Total count:

• Two burning buildings and one fire.
• Two tumbleweeds.
• Two brawls.
• Four dead bodies and a boy buried by a pile of books.
