IRLS 581: School Library Administration and Organization
School of Information Resources and Library Science
University of Arizona

Fall 2007

Course Facilitator: Judi Moreillon, Ph.D.


Teaching and Learning Resources:

My educational philosophy and the 7 Principles of Undergraduate Education guide my work. Although I have been teaching both undergraduate and graduate students since 1995, I believe these principles apply to all adult learners (and to children and youth as well).

These are links to the resources I've created for student access. I used a tool by Macromedia called "Breeze."

Welcome to IRLS 581: School Library Administration
This PowerPoint with audio/video introduces the course texts and my own journey as a teacher-librarian. This was my first attempt. It is fatally flawed but many students commented on its impact on their motivation to partcipate in the course. (32 minutes)

Collaboration: Building Partnerships for Learning and Teaching - Part 1
This PowerPoint was created in 2000. I added audio. It includes photos to illustrate the Information Literacy Standards for Student Learning. This segment is the introduction and the first three standards. (21 minutes)

Collaboration: Building Partnerships for Learning and Teaching - Part 2
This segment illustrates Standards 4-6. (7 minutes)

Collaboration: Building Partnerships for Learning and Teaching - Part 3
This segment illustrates Standards 7-9. (Actually, I added Standard 10 as well.) (14 minutes)
