Current Lesson Plans

LINC reviewed lesson plans in the Spring 2014 term, and is piloting new workshops in Fall 2014. The new plans are based upon the ACRL Draft Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education, and each plan references a particular frame as its focus. As you develop your workshop, the committee encourages you to review the Framework.

Evaluation Forms

LINC has developed a new student evaluation form to help assess the 4 new workshops (i.e. LIB 001 - LIB 004). When teaching one of the new workshops, instructors should use this new form.

For all other Library workshops, please continue to use the student evaluation form that we have used in the past.

If you instruct one of the new workshops, please fill out LINC's Instructor Feedback Form via FluidSurveys.

Guidelines to Cancel a scheduled Workshop

If you are scheduled to teach a workshop and have to cancel that class, follow the directions listed in the guidelines.
