Gary Handman Berkeley Teaching Library Head, Berkeley Media Resource Center. The following Research I Libraries are representative of how librarians and library administrators are succeeding at bringing both innovative and traditional instructional services to undergraduates at their institutions. Graduating information literate students is the goal that we share with these peer library systems. Instructional sessions are offered in all campus libraries by subject specialists and generalists. The Digital Information Literacy Office is the focal point for instructional services related to both learning and teaching about digital and electronic sources.
Subject bibliographers teach all other classes.
Staff of three FTE Librarians provides on-demand and stand alone sessions for students and instructors on the selection, evaluation and use of electronic resources. DILO staff also holds workshops for the UT Library Staff and campus community on web searching, a variety of software applications, and work collaboratively with departmental faculty to develop course-related web sites. This office is also responsible for TILT, the Texas Information Literacy Tutorial , and an exceptional web-based tutorial that addresses several information literacy competencies and tests for comprehension and skills acquisition. Usage of TILT quadruples from year 1 to year 2. The Teaching Library at Berkeley is a place, an organization and a concept.
