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

The Difference Between High School & College Libraries and Research

Seat Swap!• 2 tables of high school librarians

o 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.

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]

o 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!

"College asks that you evaluate your sources and question them whereas high school only asks that you understand them."

"I was scared to ask questions. I didn't want to bother anyone. I also didn't want them to think I was stupid."

Seat swap!o 4 tables, 2-3 HS librarians at each table; o 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.
