Instruction ideas

Web tutorials are not new, but they're still pretty cool. There are a number of sites out there that offer helpful directions for using various web thingies. But what about more traditional library instruction? Well, those are out there, too.

CLIP, or the Cooperative Library Instruction Project is one that, while it hasn't been updated recently, still has some good content to offer. The brainchild of librarians at Northwestern State University in Oklahoma, the site has links to content on issues and topics from Citations and Plagiarism to searching Google, and what constitutes a peer reviewed source. Some of the links no longer work, but the ones that do provide a great spot to start.

ALPS LINK Still want more? You might also be interested in surfing over to the LINK, or Library Instruction Knapsack. This one is a bit more up-to-date as far as content, and offers links to recently uploaded instruction content, as well as tools you can download and use.

That's all for today!
Small bites, but lots to chew on :)
