Teaching Innovation Fair

[Danuta Nitecki <danuta.nitecki@YALE.EDU>]

Our colleagues from the Graduate School have asked that I
extend this invitation to interested library staff to attend their annual
Teaching Innovation Fair later this week.   This year the
Library again will participate by staffing a table about the
"Library's Support of Teaching" which will include information
about our ELI project as well as some of the school and department
library innovative instruction programs [e.g. instruction via the
Divinity and Arts Libraries].   Past fairs have been very
informative about the many activities underway around campus and have
offered an informal setting for interested faculty, students and staff to
discuss teaching approaches.  

As always, library staff attendance is subject to service coverage and
supervisor approval.   I hope some of you will be able to
attend.
