| SCIL Works 2024 |
|
Friday, February 2, 2024
9:00 am - 1:00 pm
Online
Registration is Open
Southern California Instruction Librarians (SCIL) will be hosting SCIL Works on Friday, February 2, 2024 as a remote half-day mini-conference. This annual mini-conference offers librarians the opportunity to hear best practices, innovative pedagogy, and creative solutions with colleagues. SCIL Works 2024 will focus on ways librarians have incorporated effective communication strategies such as active listening, empathetic instruction, and more, into library instruction.
Communication is key to effective library instruction. Everything from coordinating with course instructors, students, and peers, to the types of learning objects we create, depends on communication that engages all participants. Many of us do not come to library instruction with formal training in communication, education, or public speaking, and yet these and related skills are often required to effectively engage and empathize with our learners. We have had to learn, often through trial and error, how best to listen, when to say "yes, and...," how to say no, and other strategies that have helped us connect with students, staff, faculty, other library workers, and ourselves with kindness and compassion.
Register Now

| Web site migration |
- CARL is moving to a new membership platform, so you’ll see a different interface when you go to pay your annual dues. Although the website itself is currently under construction, the membership form and payment system are fully functional.
- There is no change to the types of membership or member fees.
- Membership is now automatically set to notify you of your renewal date one year following your most recent individual dues payment.
- The database defaults to showing your name, professional title, and institution publicly in the membership directory – you can adjust your profile if you want to show more or less.
- The website will eventually be migrated to the new platform and we hope to unveil new features to make things more engaging and user-friendly.
- Questions? Contact CARL Membership Director Kelli Hines at khines@westernu.edu.
