ILG Instructional Inspirations  

During the regular academic year, the Instruction Inspiration librarians will be sending a monthly email out to all librarians of the Maricopa County Community College District which will highlight 2-3 excellent instructional ideas from clearinghouses such as Merlot, LOEX, and the Maricopa Learning eXchange (MLX), as well as ideas from our own librarians.

These instructional ideas will also be archived here by month under the tab "Inspirations."

The Information Literacy Group (ILG) is a subcommittee of the District Library Chairs Committee of the Maricopa County Community College District. ILG has been charged:

* To raise awareness of information literacy at a District level by coordinating participation in District events such as the Student Success Conference and Technology Conference.

* To coordinate grant seeking and alternative funding efforts as relates to information literacy.

* To begin an instructional clearinghouse where lessons, plans, and learning objects can be made available to librarians throught the District.

* To examine ways to market and brand information literacy efforts.

* To create opportunities for librarians to share their use of innovative instructional strategies and technology as relates to information literacy.

* To compile information regarding the use of information literacy assessments throughout the District.

* To coordinate professional development events for librarians such as guest speakers and instructional design workshops.

Information Literacy Inspirations was created in response to this charge.
