Discussion Questions
1. Let’s talk about your vision for the instruction library of the future.
2. How will evolving technologies (chat, video, mobile phones, Voicera™, interactive voice response, etc.) affect your instruction style and your interactions with students?
3. Would instruction librarians be willing to share their expertise with colleagues who may not be as familiar with evolving technologies?
4. What skills will instruction librarians need to develop in order to be effective in engaging their students with information literacy tools and resources?
5. Among Utah’s institutions of higher education there have been varying levels of success in integrating information literacy into the academic curriculum. Some institutions have not had strong support from their administration for establishing a standard of information literacy for their incoming and outgoing students.
6. Should librarians establish instruction standards for institutions of higher education in Utah?
