Is your institution planning on any initiatives to spread the word and get staff some prof dev in this area? <br /><br />I'm trying to do that (especially, as we all do probably every day: getting the word out to faculty), but it is an uphill battle here at a college that has no librarian teaching tradition at all and where the library is part of the IT dept.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02710242563750467338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8411033736285455680.post-31903857331054965422011-04-22T09:20:28.844-04:002011-04-22T09:20:28.844-04:00Our Dean of Libraries recently came back from a co...Our Dean of Libraries recently came back from a conference and talked about how our jobs are focusing more on administration and teaching. I felt my MLIS program was heavy in the administration area - with a lot of attention being paid to the big picture, but it occurred to me that I have not yet heard of a graduate program that has some sort of teaching track.<br /><br />Having taught before becoming a librarian, I am sometimes a little dismayed at how haphazardly we librarians treat teaching. It's something we need to be paying more attention to, and when we are getting it right, we do need to make sure people outside of our libraries know, as you point out here.Andrea Stanfieldnoreply@blogger.com
