Yuliya Lef, CMC Virtual Library Services, introduced a terrific faculty panel at the Faculty In-Service Day on May 8th. Morgan Liddick, History, Tina Roese, Composition and Literature, and Rob Wang, Natural Sciences, provided three great examples for bringing students to 21st century research practices with virtual libary services.
Morgan shared how he brings students to artifacts of given historical periods so they can develop questions about what the artifacts communicate rather than merely reading about them. Included in those inquiries is the examination of portraiture from ART STORE archives at the virtual library site. Thank you, Morgan, for kindly sharing examples of these assignments for this post.

Tina shared her practices of having students work with the libary staff to learn the basic tools to effectively use and document sources.
Rob presented the creation of student poster fairs. These projects provided digital templates so students can embed both high level graphics and documented information sources, which are then printed up at local print shops and used for presentations to peers at conference-style events. (BTW, he has offered to share his template, and we hope he does.)
This session was but one of many great peer-provided sessions at faculty day--thanks to each of you for sharing your great practices and enthusiasm.
