Friday, April 5, 2013 9am – 3:30pm at San Jose State University Library

How do you demonstrate the long term value of information literacy beyond helping students academically?

The program will explore the application of Information Literacy — both within the walls of our library as well as outside — as we work towards innovative, effective, and engaging teaching techniques for face-to-face and on-line instruction.For more information go to: http://www.cclibinstruction.org/
