The Bibliographic Instruction Special Interest Group (SIG) is composed of individuals interested in various aspects of library instruction. Meetings throughout the year cover a wide range of instruction topics and offer important opportunities for networking and information sharing. The SIG also provides professional development opportunities through group discussion, and presentations by group members, vendors and others. Topics targeted for future meetings include instruction for targeted groups, distance learning and bibliographic instruction, developing assessment tools, and planning for the future needs of bibliographic instruction.

Collaborative Efforts Between Library Sectors in the
Area of Instruction

Our presenters:

The BI SIG typically meets 3-4 times a year and is open to all. Discussion topics have included: active learning techniques, assessment, new technologies in instruction, database demonstrations, and much more.
