You are cordially invited to a workshop:

MERLOT: A Wealth of Online Resources for Libraries*

This workshop is designed for librarians and library staff who are interested in exploring the use of MERLOT (Multimedia Educational Resource for Learning and Online Teaching http://www.merlot.org for forging connections with teaching faculty and developing information literacy curriculum.  The workshop is based on the feedback you generously contributed by responding to our recent survey.

These workshops will include demonstrations of MERLOT, hands-on activities, a panel session by MERLOT contributors, and breakout sessions.  When you leave, you'll have a better understanding of how MERLOT works.  You will explore ways that the tool can be used as a medium for library outreach and promoting information literacy, and, we hope, you may be inspired to try some of these things yourself!

The workshop is being held in two locations:

        November 1, 2002  San Diego State University
        10:00 am  - 3:00 pm

        November 8, 2002  Sonoma State University
        10:00 am  - 3:00 pm

Please R.S.V.P.  by September 30 by email to:

        Abbe Altman     abbe@cdl.edu

We will make every attempt to enroll you in the session of your choice. The first fifteen people to register will be accepted and a wait-list will be kept for those who respond late. We will let you know which session you'll be assigned to and send you logistical information closer to the workshop date. Lunch will be provided.

We look forward to working with you!
