Specific goals to address to librarian audience

Employing constructivism and arts integration in lesson planning (as taught by pedagogical expert, Dr. Jeffrey Liles)
Experimentation with new technologies (blogs in class, wikis for follow-up w/faculty) and utilizing materials not typically used in semester classes
Multi-disciplinary approach to teaching - collaborating heavily with professors
Exposure and marketing for what library has to offer (to faculty, students, and administration)
Flexible classroom space (large group and small group activities)
Informal space (for headquarters)
Technology easily accessible (ppt, digital cameras, video recorders, GPS, laptops, smartrooms)
Community building among library staff - calling upon our creativity to devise plots and secrecy
"Library as Command Central" - TLC, Center for Academic Excellence, ESOL/Graduate Programs, TERC
"Library as center for Arts Integration and Scholarship" - art gallery, national exhibits with multiple multi-subject programs, highlighted professors for teaching excellence, Buddhist Monks (mandala), Brazilian bash for retiring professor
"Library as Place" College of Du Page
