Rosy Future vs..... now Working toward integrated information literacy The one-shot presentation, flawed though it may be, is still the reality for many academic librarians
3
Definitions “One shot” is a single presentation, usually less than an hour, to a college class Conducted by librarian at request of professor May or may not be tied into an assignment
4
We Can’t Cover Everything Too much information available to present Have to choose carefully It’s all about what you leave out
5
Successful One-Shots Clear objectives Tied to a task Includes hands-on time
6
Objectives Often overlooked Task based Tangible results
7
Tied to a task Students walk away with something Have to apply skills immediately
8
Hands on time A nod to short attention spans Learning by doing Time for individual questions Time to accomplish the task

What to include in presentation Lots of how, some what, minimal why The smallest number of steps to perform the most basic of tasks Get the students through a task successfully, then add the why
10
What to leave out Advanced features Evaluation of resources and results Personal information about instructor Jargon
