  3. Corral Your Obstacle(s)! Why? To free ourselves from barriers to our personal goals or development in order to begin the summit with a open mind ready to explore all possibilities! How: Plastic animal + catalog card + rubber band = freedom from frustration (for the day) http://www.elvaquero.com/Jesse_Wilkinson.htm

  4. The Difference Between High School & College Libraries and Research Seat Swap! • 2 tables of high school librarians • 5 at each table • 1 table of UT librarians Question for all tables: What do you perceive to be the differences between high school and college libraries and research? • From each group, select a scribe to compile a list of differences on the large flip charts on each table. • When you're done, hang up your page(s) on the closest window or wall.

  5. The Difference Between High School & College Libraries and Research Backing up our perceptions with evidence (and putting ourselves in our student's shoes) • Contance Mellon's research on Library Anxiety [1986] • Feelings of being lost stemmed from four causes: (1) the size of the library; (2) a lack of knowledge about where things were located; (3) how to begin, and (4) what to do. • Our own First-year student's survey data! "I was scared to ask questions. I didn't want to bother anyone. I also didn't want them to think I was stupid." "College asks that you evaluate your sources and question them whereas high school only asks that you understand them."

  6. Dissecting first-year university syllabi Seat swap! • 4 tables, 2-3 HS librarians at each table; • 1-2 UT librarians at each table Activity: What and Why: Close reading of syllabus to assess what types of skills the students are expected to have when they come in How: Each table has a different syllabus. Use Worksheet #1 as a guide to work through the information literacy expectations and competencies that are found in first-year college courses.

  7. Lunch!

  8. What UT faculty have to say about information literacy & student skills

  9. Our Competency Checklist http://tinyurl.com/ILSummitChecklist Adapted from Patricia Owen's checklist available at: http://www.infowen.info/checklist.pdf

  10. Addressing the IL Skills Gap Sharing Success Stories What are we currently doing to address the competencies that we've identified through the mornings activities and the combined checklist? [Worksheet #2] Report Out: Pick one high school and one college assignment example to share with the group

  11. Addressing the IL Skills Gap Creating a shared assignment/activity Informed by the day's discussion, brainstorm an activity or assignment that addresses a gap within a previously identified competency. [Worksheet #3] Report Out: Each group shares their assignment or activity with the larger groups. You have 7 minutes!

  12. Snack Break!

  13. Summit Debrief & Conclusion • What have we learned from our dialogue today? • What will we take back to our respective institutions? • What are our wishes for this group? Brief Survey Tell us what you think, what you really really think (adapted from Mary Font)
