CFP: Workshop for Instruction in Library Use (WILU) 2011 - ‘Learning Under Living Skies’
June 1-3, 2011
Regina, Saskatchewan
The tri-institutional WILU Committee from the Saskatchewan Institute of Applied Science and Technology (SIAST), the University of Regina, and the University of Saskatchewan invites you to submit proposals to be considered for presentation at WILU 2011. We are very pleased and excited to bring WILU to our province – for the first time ever!
This is also a special year because this will be the 40th annual WILU! Over the decades, it has grown to encompass all aspects of library instruction and the emerging role of librarians as educators. Please visit About WILU 2011 for more information.
The sky looms large over Saskatchewan. It is bold, active and constantly changing - just like learning in libraries. And, as we all know, learning can happen anywhere…the sky's the limit…
Suggested Topics:
-Learning Spaces. Tell us about where learning takes place.
-Who Learns? Tell us about who learns from you.
-Today’s Tools. Tell us about the tools you use.
-Why Teach? Tell us what motivates you to educate others.
