From Beowulf to Virginia Woolf in 50 Min. Any Questions?

Abstract

What’s doable, what’s desirable, and how do I assess that? This poster session will present the results of a liaison librarians completed contact with all 600 students registered for English 100 at a four year university. The poster will showcase the economy used in deciding what the students need to know, and how best to present that to multiple small groups. The challenge in meeting so many students with varying levels of readiness will be addressed and presented will be the self assessment tool used to pre and post test students to ultimately measure the significant improvement in awareness of library resources which was the result of attending the English 110 Library Research Tools class. The comments of students received will be offered as insight to the needs of this community of researchers. A consideration of what worked best and areas for improvement will be included. Excel spreadsheets, a Self Test Evaluation Tool, use of multimedia and handout will complement the poster itself.
