Workshop

Incorporating Chemical Information Literacy into Your Curriculum: A Workshop
for Faculty and Librarians.

234th ACS National Meeting
Sunday, August 19, 1 to 5 PM
Boston Convention and Exhibition Center, Room: BCEC 207; Boston, MA  02210

Workshop Description
bulletStudents need information to understand and solve chemistry and chemical
engineering problems. Often they turn to the wrong resources or have not
been properly prepared to choose from the many resources available to them.
bulletBecause certification from the ACS requires instruction in the retrieval and
use of chemical information, what can you do to make students more
successful in the use of information in the classroom and in the lab?
bulletThis workshop will provide you with the tools you need to intelligently design
assignments that teach chemical and engineering concepts and incorporate
chemical information literacy without overwhelming the student or yourself.
bulletIntended audience: faculty, instructors, teaching assistants, and librarians
Registration
bulletWorkshop Fee: $125
