In a new initiative, the University Libraries awarded stipends to three faculty members to provide support to revise their Spring 2016 courses to incorporate more information
literacy and increase librarian involvement. Seventeen faculty members from a
variety of departments submitted proposals.
The stipend recipients are:
Tom Jackson, History 391
Stephanie Hudson, Educational Leadership and Cultural Foundations 381
Jonathan Zarecki, Classical Studies 102
Dr. Jackson will collaborate with Kathy Crowe (library
liaison to the History department) Lynda Kellam (Data Services and Government
Information Librarians), and Kathelene Smith (Photographs, Artifacts, and Textiles
Archivist) on his Historical Skills and Methods course. The class will
incorporate library databases, historic census and polling data, and archival
materials relating to the sit-ins of the 1960s.
Ms. Hudson will collaborate with Amy Harris Houk (library
liaison to the School of Education) on ELC 381 (The Institution of Education).
The class will contain a series of scaffolded assignments centered around
constructing authority in a variety of situations.
Dr. Zarecki will collaborate with Jenny Dale (Director of
First-Year Programs and library liaison to the English department) on CCI 102:
The Classical Art of Persuasion. The class will focus on incorporating
information literacy into classical rhetoric.
Please join the University Libraries for "Vintage Viands: The Roaring Twenties," a chance to taste treats made by University Libraries' staff. The recipes come from our authentic 1920's Home Economics Collection.
