This session will describe a successful program that aims to fill the gap in pedagogical training that exists between library education and professional expectations. A model for a formal, grassroots instruction training program built upon a regional collaboration will be presented. Through facilitated discussion, participants will identify their own needs for library instruction training and the local strengths and talent that can contribute to a successful collaboration. They will leave this session with the confidence to initiate similar efforts at a scale that makes sense for their professional community.

with

24. Think Consider the logistics of a similar program in
your region. Are your stakeholders near or
far? Would distance learning work?
Would the key components of your program
be similar or different than LILAC?
Would your program span all library types or
focus on one?
Consider timing. Would your program occur
over a semester or would it be a three-day
immersion?
