Project SAILS is attending ACRL 2013. Are you?
If you are, then you should consider attending one of the many sessions focused on information literacy and assessment. Below is a list of programs that caught my eye as I scoured the conference program. I plan to attend as many of them as possible but will also be busy talking with visitors to our booth. I hope to see you at Booth 1320. Get a jump on the crowds and schedule a time to meet with me.
I intended this list to focus on assessment, but I just couldn’t help highlighting other programs that sound amazing and innovative. Click on the program title to see more information on the ACRL conference website. You can also plan the sessions you will attend with ACRL’s easy “My Planner” tool.
(Note, I did not include any of the free workshops here – they are filling up so fast and I didn't want you to be disappointed if you didn’t get a spot.)
Enjoy! And hope to see you there!
