monDAy June 25, 8:00 am – 12:00 pm LITA teaching new Dogs old tricks: using technology to train and manage student employees Most academic libraries employ student workers, but rarely do we discuss the impact of current and emerging technology on both student employees and supervisors when assessing workflow. We will discuss implementing Captivate, LibGuides, SharePoint, and Blackboard to improve and enhance the training, communication, and supervision of student employees. We’ll cover the strengths/weaknesses, potential learning curves of each technology and obstacles encountered to empower others to use various technologies to manage their own student employees. Subjects: Technology, Training ACRL_STS Preparing tomorrow’s science Professional The proposed program seeks to establish a dialogue between science librarians, faculty and students, focusing on the issue of preparing today’s students to become tomorrow’s science professionals. The discussion will explore the challenges faculty face as they seek to educate emerging scientists, new outreach models for working with faculty on creating information and data literate researchers, and the ways librarians can work with science students to support their goals of becoming science professionals.
