IPAL Recap 2014: Circuit Training Notes

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who attended the IPAL Information Literacy Interest Group session held May 1, 2014 at Grand View University! I did my best to get around to as many different groups as I could during both the Instruction Swap and the Circuit Training sessions, and loved the conversations that were happening! As was discussed during the session, attendees will be contacted and asked to email me (Cara) your Instruction Swap ideas, which I will then compile and share again with the whole group. We will also be going through the surveys (thank you for sharing your feedback), and will be using those to help plan future events and blog posts.

It will take some time to compile the Instruction Swap resources, so, in the meantime, here are the notes from the different "Conversation Stations."


Those who went to this station had the following prompt, but were free to take anything within the topic & run with it:
Logistics
Interested in talking about library spaces, configurations, labs and opportunities for using other areas across campus? What about scheduling, staffing (full-time and student workers), or faculty relationships? Then this Conversation Station is right for you!
Please appoint someone to help keep track of the ideas you discussed by taking notes in this Google Doc.
All of the Google Docs will then be made available to the rest of the IPAL IL Discussion Group so others can benefit from multiple discussions. You don’t have to miss out on the conversation from one group because you decided to join another!
