Engaging students at community colleges can be difficult. Librarians and student affairs professionals will share tips for student outreach, including innovative library orientations, finals programs, and leveraging events and clubs to reach students where they are.

Research Across the Curriculum
Tired of assigning reports and your students getting their information straight from Google? Want your students to think learning was fun instead of a drag? Wish you understood technology better? Magazine and journal articles are increasingly being found electronically in databases, and residents of the state of Michigan can access them through MeL for free. Learn what databases are, how they work, and what credible information can be retrieved

Was your New Year’s Resolution to become more organized? Tired of looking for that little slip of paper or your grocery list? Are you being required to use technology as a faculty member? Work Smarter – Not Harder! Not only will this session give you an overview on how to use a Palm Pilot and its basic software, but software specific for faculty and student use will be demonstrated.
