Time: 14.00 to 16.30 (Registration from 13.30)
Venue: Learning Development Zone, Kimberlin Library, De Montfort University, Leicester
Dear Colleagues
We would like to invite presenters and enthusiastic audience members who have a particular interest in information literacy skills for Art and Design students to take part in a free Teachmeet event to explore some of the issues and ways of approaching teaching to this group of students.
The event will be hosted by the Art and Design team from Academic Liaison, Directorate of Library and Learning Services, De Montfort University, Leicester, and will be held in the Learning Development Zone of the Kimberlin Library. Tea and coffee will be provided.
This teachmeet is aimed at information professionals working with students in creative disciplines, including Art, Design, Fashion, Textiles, Architecture and the Performing Arts. We would like participants to share innovative ideas and examples of good practice in teaching information literacy skills to these students. This will be an informal, friendly, interactive event combining short presentations, poster displays and individual and group activities.
If you would like to attend you can choose to be either a micro presenter, a nano presenter or an audience member ready to join the discussions. Micro presenters will be given five minutes to present their topic, followed by five minutes for questions from the audience. Nano presenters will bring a poster on their topic and give a two minute presentation followed by two minutes for questions from the audience. Enthusiastic audience members will join the discussions and engage with the presentations and activities.
This event is free, but places must be booked in advance through EventBrite at http://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/seeing-the-bigger-picture-information-literacy-skills-for-art-and-design-tickets-11301359671.
