Those interested in changing library roles in support of teaching are
invited to join a stimulating and timely discussion of how a major
research university is strengthening links between faculty, librarians,
instructional technologists, assessment experts, and graduate teaching
fellows, in order to improve undergraduate student learning. Two visiting
colleagues will address the Mellon-funded Berkeley Project that aims to
strengthen the connections between undergraduate research, information
literacy, and library collections. Following the presentation, Yale
faculty, librarians, administrators, and students are invited to reflect
on the adaptability of the program's strategies to develop collaborations
and encourage new support of teaching.

A few notes about our speakers:
Christina Maslach is Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education and
Professor of Psychology at the University of California at Berkeley. She
received her AB, magna cum laude, in Social Relations from
Harvard-Radcliffe College in 1967, and her PhD in Psychology from Stanford
University in 1971. She has conducted research in a number of areas
within social and health psychology. However, she is best known as one of
the pioneering researchers on job burnout, and the author of the Maslach
Burnout Inventory [MBI], the most widely used research measure in the
burnout field. In addition to numerous articles, she has written several
books on this topic. In 1997, Professor Maslach received national
recognition as "Professor of the Year," an award made by the Carnegie
Foundation and the Council for the Advancement and Support of Education
[CASE]. In that same year, the American Psychological Association
recognized her expertise as both a researcher and teacher by selecting her
to deliver the prestigious G. Stanley Hall Lecture at its annual
convention. Among Professor Maslach's other honors are the presidency of
the Western Psychological Association, the Distinguished Teaching
Award from the University of California at Berkeley, and her selection as
a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
Patricia Iannuzzi is familiar to many at Yale, having received her
bachelor's degree in psychology here in 1976 and returned as a reference
librarian after receiving her master's degree from Simmons College in
1981. In February 2005, she assumed responsibilities as Dean of
Libraries at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, after having spent the
previous five years at the University of California at Berkeley, as
director of the Doe and Moffitt Libraries and interim director of
collections. Patricia is a nationally known expert on information
literacy, having made numerous presentations, and authored books and
articles on the topic. As chair of the Association of College and
Research Libraries' Task Force on Information Literacy Standards, Patricia
worked with representatives of the American Association of Higher
Education, the Middle States Commission on Higher Education, the
Association of Library and Information Science Educators, and ACRL to
create Information Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education, a
document that has been embraced nationally and internationally by both
higher education associations and academic librarians. In 2001 the ACRL
honored her with the Miriam Dudley Instruction Librarian Award.
