- Creating Effective Library Assignments: A Workshop for Faculty. Donegan, Patricia Morris Academic Libraries Assignments Evaluation Criteria Higher Education Library Instruction Library Skills Program Descriptions Questionnaires Teacher Workshops Worksheets Because reference librarians at San Antonio College (Texas) often found themselves facing the difficult situation of assisting students who were struggling with ill-conceived, faculty-designed library assignments, they developed a 2-hour workshop for faculty on the construction of course-related assignments. This collection of workshop-related materials traces the steps taken to construct the workshop. The materials: (1) explain how the Library Instruction Committee assembled an overall mission statement and include an excerpt from the statement that presents their campus-wide faculty development goals and objectives; (2) summarize key points from a proposal submitted to the Faculty Development Office and describe the proposal process; (3) describe how the Library Instruction Committee functioned as a team to develop the workshop; (4) relate publicity tactics; (5) outline the introductory lecture; (6) discuss 10 characteristics of effective library assignments and identify pitfalls to be avoided; and (7) present group exercises for reviewing library assignments before they are implemented and instructions for designing and evaluating action-oriented assignments. An instrument for faculty evaluation of the workshop is also included. The materials packet received by workshop participants is appended. (SD)
