New URL, New Look, New Committe Name

We are now the California Conference on Library Instruction and our URL is now at: http://www.cclibinstruction.org/

CCLI Is All About What You're Doing in Library Instruction!

It is true, and we want you to share your projects, your endeavors, your theories, your queries, and your selves as library instructors.

To do that there needs to be more than just those of us of the steering committee sharing what we have found. If you have an article, a report, a project you are working on you would like to share, a link to the hard work and sweat on something you have place online or a program you deserve to gloat about, please contact me (Norman Buchwald) at nbuchwald@chabotcollege.edu

The blog replaces our old online newsletter and it has become our forum. I serve simply as editor to this new online place, and will be more than happy to post your article, your musings, a link to your online tutorial, your report on that conference you were so lucky to get funded or that awesome presentation that just needs to be shared beyond one small mere meeting room or even an auditorium!

Meanwhile, hope you enjoy tomorrow's program: Starting Out Strong: Motivating First Year Students for Success. We look forward to hearing from you!
