If you can't make it, we'll be offering more workshops in August before Fall classes start...or you can take many of our workshop through our online tutorials.

On May 19 and 20 we held a library seminar for faculty and instructors in IT. Fourteen faculty and staff members attended a day and a half event that covered a wide variety of library tools and resources that could be incorporated into teaching, learning and research.

If you weren't able to attend, you can watch the recorded versions of the presentations at http://sciweb.lib.umn.edu/facultyseminar2010/.

In addition, we have included information and links based on questions we received during the seminar:
