I would like to notify you of a one-day course module, "Libraries and
Teaching and Learning", which is the fifth module of a course "Digital
Libraries à la Carte: Choices for the Future". The course will be held
21-26 August 2005, at Tilburg University in the Netherlands. It is
targeted at an international audience. The five modules can be
attended seperately, but you can also combine this "Learning" module
with other modules.
The programme of "Module 5: Libraries and Teaching and Learning" is as
follows:
* Libraries and Teaching and Learning: An Introduction
Hans Roes, Project manager, Tilburg University, NL
Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) have had a profound
impact on the way modern libraries operate. The end is still not in
sight with major digitization projects underway like f.i. Google
Print, Google Scholar, and the Google Libraries project. ICTs are also
starting to impact the world of teaching and learning with the advent
of e-learning. This introduction will give a broad sketch of relevant
trends in the world of (digital) libraries, the world of (e) learning
and (e) teaching, and seeks to identify opportunities and challenges
for librarians in performing one of their core tasks: the support of
educational processes. The presentation will draw both on conceptual
work in this area, as well as on practical experiences reported in the
literature. It attempts to set out a framework for the day's topics
covered in the other lectures.
* "Not the Filling of a Vessel, but the Lighting of a Fire": Enriching
Student Learning through the Development of Information Literacy

* "Not the Filling of a Vessel, but the Lighting of a Fire": Enriching
Student Learning through the Development of Information Literacy
Pat Davitt Maughan, Project Manager, Mellon Library/Faculty
Fellowship on Undergraduate Research, University of California,
Berkeley, USA
Pat transforms the undergraduate curriculum at the prestigious UC
Berkeley to include information literacy training. This session
provides an overview and analysis of Information Literacy Standards in
North America, Australia, and the United Kingdom. We will uncover the
connections between IL standards and active student learning. Through
practical exercises and discussions, participants will discover ways
to integrate IL standards into course and curricula design and thus
create meaningful student learning experiences. Special topics,
including assessing student skills and learning, developing campus
collaborations, and marketing and "messaging" will also be included.
* Assessment / Educational Effectiveness
Sheila Webber, Senior Lecturer, University of Sheffield,
Department of Information Studies, UK
Lecture on current initiatives in the area of assessment and
educational effectiveness. Sheila will address national initiatieven
(like Project SAILS, NSSE) and will discuss evaluating at three
levels: institutional evaluation, program evaluation and course
evaluation. This presentation, too, will contain an interactive
component.
* Physical and Virtual Learning Landscapes
Steven W. Gilbert, President, The TLT Group, USA
Steven Gilbert is a expert in learning landscapes. He will speak about
classrooms, multi-purpose/"re-purposeable" spaces, collaboration group
space, CMS, digital learning objects and repositories, new skills sets
required of library professionals, and student engagement in the
online environment. Hs presentation will contain an interactive
component.
To guarantee a highly interactive programme, the number of
participants is limited to 45, lectures contain an interactive
component, and the modules is concluded with a practical workshop. The
module is recommended by JISC (www.jisc.ac.uk/) in the UK.
