1. What elements of the IL Retreat did you find most useful?
2. How did you find the balance between theory and practice at this retreat? Would you have liked to have seen more of one or the other, or did you think it was about right?
3. What themes or content (if any) do you think should have been explored, which were not addressed?
4. ILC members thought it could be useful in future to explore issues related to the retreat theme by inviting a panel of York graduate students to a library event.
Please comment on whether you think this would be a good idea, and/or please let us know if there are themes that came up today which you feel should receive further attention, and how you might propose this be achieved?
5. In your opinion, are there specific activities which ILC should undertake in support of graduate students and information literacy needs or expectations, either emerging from today's retreat or just in general?
6. Each year the Institute for Information Literacy (ACRL) hosts the well-renowned Information Literacy Immersion Program , which provides instruction librarians with the opportunity to work intensively for four-and-a-half days on all aspects of information literacy. The Teacher track focuses on individual development for those who are interested in enhancing, refreshing, or extending their individual instruction skills.
If funding were forthcoming to enable librarians at YUL to apply for and attend this Institute, would you be in favour of this as an available professional development opportunity?
7. Do you think you might consider attending this Institute yourself?
8. Any other comments?
