CEEA Presentation: Using a Blog to Engage Students in Literature Search Skills Sessions

Last week I was at the Canadian Engineering Education Association Inaugural Conference in Kingston. It was a great conference and a very auspicious beginning for this very new organization. I have a summary post in the works which I hope to have up fairly soon.

I presented the above titled paper on Monday afternoon, June 7th. It went pretty well -- I was part of a session with a couple of other librarian presentations so it was mostly just us librarians. However, there were several faculty members present and I did get a couple of nice comments about the presentation later on in the conference, including one faculty member who said she wanted to start her own course blog.

So: presentation slides here, paper version here.
