A new academic year has begun, and we welcomed new Chemistry and Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering students to the library.

This year we distilled our library orientation to 10 short tips in order to allow more time for a human bingo icebreaker game and more  time for a discussion of personal success in graduate life. The slides from these sessions will be re-used in the rotating news and instruction slide show on our homepage.

Download a text copy of the ten library tips.

The guide to the Chemistry Library has also been updated. Of note is a discussion of open access publishing, its value, and some sources of financial support for publishing fees.

We held a “library quiz” to encourage students to read the library guide. This is an online quiz with multiple choice questions about library use – and all answers may be found in the library guide. All completed quiz entries will be entered into a lottery for a student to win one of two $25 gift certificates to the Cal student store.

Finally, here are some statistics on the 5 one-hour orientation sessions conducted.

It was an honor to speak to the Gates Millennium Scholars of UC Berkeley about careers in library and information science.  Here are the slides from the panel event on April 12, 2011.

Here is a proposal for an expression wall (or “graffiti wall”) for an upcoming centennial celebration at the library.

This is a 5 minute presentation for the Instructor Development Program Lightning Talks at UC Berkeley Library on December 14, 2010. It demonstrates the process of adding images to PowerPoint 2007 slides.

This was a guest lecture and discussion for LIB 100 Information Literacy, an undergraduate class at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, NC.

It was conducted as a live web conference and was 50 minutes long. The students were together in a classroom in North Carolina and I web conferenced in from California.
