Submitted By: T. Stores

Faculty Friday on Nov. 4, will feature a faculty writing community in the morning, private dining for faculty at University Commons for lunch, and a talk and reception celebrating a new book co-editted by Elizabeth Dill, Director of the Harrison Libraries.

From 9:30 a.m. – Noon, please join Margaret Tarampi and Julie Sochacki in the CTEI/Creative Technologies Center, lower level of Harrison Libraries for The Faculty Writing Community, which aims to enhance scholarly productivity by helping faculty carve out a block of time for projects that would otherwise have been sidelined by other commitments. Participants bring their laptop and/or whatever else they need to work. CTEI provides snacks and refreshments but otherwise leaves faculty alone to write. Open to all faculty. 

From Noon – 2 p.m., the Private Dining Room in University Commons has been reserved for faculty use. Bring your own lunch or purchase lunch at the Commons, and join your faculty friends and colleagues. 

From 2 p.m. – 3:30 p.m. in the Harrison Libraries, all are invited to a talk by Elizabeth Dill, Director of the Harrison Libraries, who is co-editor, with Mary Ann Cullen, of a timely new collection that models creative and effective strategies to advance both open education and information literacy. Intersections of Open Educational Resources and Information Literacy captures current open education and information literacy theory and practice and provides inspiration for the future. Chapters include practical applications, theoretical musings, literature reviews, and case studies and discuss social justice issues, collaboration, open pedagogy, training, and advocacy. Elizabeth Dill’s expertise on OER will frame a lively discussion on the opportunities of OER for students, faculty, and the academy. Reception to follow.
