Hello,

I'm a first-year Masters student at GSLIS at the University of Illinois
at Urbana-Champaign. I'm wondering if any of you might have some
insights to share with me related to a project I'm working on for
my Technical Services Functions course. The project is about the
kinds of information literacy instruction that technical services
librarians (specifically, collection development & acquistions,
serials, cataloging, and preservation librarians) might provide to
undergraduates in rhetoric/writing courses. For example, a serials
librarian might guide students in selecting both print and electronic
serials best suited to a writing assignment they have been given,
helping students understand how to determine the relevancy and
appropriateness of different kinds of journals for different purposes,
and explaining how the changing titles and natures of journals may
complicate their search as well as how to track serials in these cases.
Have any of you ever given such instruction? Whether or not you have,
I would appreciate any ideas you have about how feasible it is and how
it might best be done, topics to cover, etc.

Please reply to me off-list at poulosky@insightbb.com. Also, please
feel free to forward this message to colleagues whom you believe might
be willing to tell me about their own experiences in this area.

Thank you very much!
