California Conference on Library Instruction - Sonoma State University
Library
When: Friday, April 17, 2015
Location: Sonoma State University - Cooperage, 1801 East Cotati Ave,

Early Bird Registration Deadline: March 19, 2015
Final Registration Deadline: April 9, 2015
The program will explore new and practical ways to craft innovative
experiences for learners. Think about the buzz words of today: maker, hack,
design, engage community, framework, scalable, ethical, sustainable, etc.
These are some of the ways librarians are working with library instruction.
Our keynote speaker is Terry Doyle! Terry is an author, nationally
recognized educational consultant, and Professor of Reading at Ferris State
University where he has worked for the past 38 years. His presentation will
discuss how findings from the last fifteen years of neuroscience, cognitive
science and biology research point clearly to a new paradigm for student
learners. This new paradigm requires students to both prepare their brains
for learning and learn to apply the findings on how the human brain learns
best to their learning and studying practices. The specific actions
students need to take to adopt this new paradigm will be shared in this
talk.
Featured presentations include:
"Bees, Butterflies, and Beetles: Using Threshold Concepts and Kits to
Maximize Instruction Time" from Elana Karshmer & Jacalyn Bryan at St. Leo
University.
This presentation will describe an inventive activity to introduce biology
students to library resources in their subject area.
"Engaging the Large (& Quiet!) First-Year Class" from Tricia Lantzy at CSU
San Marcos.
Tricia will describe The Internet Carousel, an activity used to engage
large classes of first-year students.
"When Active Learning Goes Flat: Using Gamification to Motivate Student
Learners" from Lindsey McLean & Elisa Slater Acosta at Loyola Marymount
University.
They will discuss their instructional design efforts for a required
in-person library instruction session for 73 Rhetorical Arts classes (1,273
freshmen) using elements of both the hybrid approach and gamification
techniques.
"Step Over the Threshold with Us" from Susan Smith at the Harker School &
Debbie Abilock at NoodleTools.
They will share their work "Scholarship is a Conversation" in the context
of the humanities, the sciences, and the social sciences and invite
attendees to think about ways to translate this to their classrooms.
