Teaching SIG on ARLISNA Commons 2 years, 11 months agoHey Christine! I would second what Carla-Mae and Lora have said. I would also add that these types of workshops are relevant to the business of libraries in a variety of ways. Engaged or active learning experiences (like the ones you’ve described) are a fundamentally important pathway for learning. They are also important manifestations of…[Read more]

Lora Farrell replied to the topic Teaching workshops or sessions that are not specifically research related. in the discussion
Teaching SIG on ARLISNA Commons 2 years, 11 months agoI think these kinds of workshops are a great idea for the library. They draw students in and help them feel less intimidated by the library. “The library of the future” is innovative, and that includes unconventional activities. Some students feel uncomfortable coming to the staff and asking questions. Having informal workshops, or mind…[Read more]

Teaching SIG on ARLISNA Commons 2 years, 11 months agoHi Christine,
My library does a lot of these kinds of events. We’ve had puzzle, coloring and lego tables, whiteboard prompts on random topics for the students to write/draw their responses, therapy dogs, zine making etc. As you suggested, we view these as a way to make the library a welcoming community hub – not unlike the public library. It’s…[Read more]

Teaching SIG on ARLISNA Commons 2 years, 11 months agoHi librarian hive mind. I was wondering how many other librarians, esp. in art & design schools and universities, put on “fun” workshops for their students and/or faculty. If so, do you get any pushback from administration because it’s not specifically research-related? How do you justify it to those who object? At Columbus College of Art & Design…[Read more]

Please hold your calendar:

I’m scooting off to Italy for a couple of weeks shortly after the CDMX conference, so don’t plan around me. But do know that I will be lurking on this group. At my institution (MassArt), we’ve been pushing for a Materials Library for over ten years. New administration,…[Read more]

My vote is May 2 or May 3 at 12pm, 1pm, or 2pm CDT.
As 11am CDT is 9am Pacific, I know it’s a rush to be right on time that early. Thoughts?

ARLIS/NA Materials SIG via email on ARLISNA Commons 3 years agoHi Shannon!
Thank you for stepping up to be the SIG coordinator!
I would prefer May 3rd at 11, 12, 1, 2, or 3 for the meeting. I could also do May 2nd or 1st in the afternoon. This first week of May works better for me as it is closer to the end of the semester and to finals.
Thank you,
Tara
