Join us for an example session of our Craft & Chat workshops where we pair easy-to-learn crafts with typically awkward discussions to help patrons open up and learn from one another. In this session, we'll make zines and get a little meta as we talk about how creative activities can ease discussion in workshops.

A Spark of Inspiration!
Tuesday April 15, 2025 1:30pm - 2:30pm EDT
Cattails B
Get ready for a whirlwind tour through some of the most creative and practical ideas in library services. These lightning talks will take you from the art of reflective teaching to building a library site from scratch, with a pit stop for some graduation portrait fun!

  1. Beyond the One Shot: Cultivating a Reflective Teaching Practice: Many librarians have teaching responsibilities, but not all regularly reflect on their teaching practice. This interactive session will equip teaching librarians with practical strategies to regularly self-assess, collaborate with peers, and gather student feedback - empowering them to continuously evolve their teaching and elevate the student experience. By embracing reflective teaching, librarians can unlock new levels of pedagogical expertise and better fulfill their vital role in student success.
  2. BOOK PROPS & STACK BACKDROPS: Patron Engagement via Graduation-Portrait Photography in the Library: This presentation considers how an academic Library seized a rising tide of graduate-portrait professional photography amidst the stacks as an opportunity to engage with born-digital students’ "Shelf Credibility." The choice to engage rather than prohibit graduation-portrait photo shoots in the library yielded outcomes like both reducing unannounced shoots' disruptions to staff workflows & branding the Library with a new no-cost service using pre-existing resources.
  3. You don't have to be a genius! How I created a library site from scratch in Linux using Google machines, PHP and MYSQL: Some special libraries don’t have their own library site or catalog, and some librarians own personal monographs that they could place online instead. Come learn how I created my own library site from scratch using Wordpress, MYSQL, and Google instances; you don’t have to be a genius to do it!

Libraries recognize the need for more inclusive leadership, yet there’s limited discussion on the structures that foster leadership roles.
