Hi Rebecca, - great workshop - do you have access to electronic copies of the handouts? I’d love to share them.

Amy, I’m glad that you enjoyed the workshop. We received positive comments on the evals. You can find two of the handouts by going to the following web sites:
http://www.transitioning2college.org/module_welcome_to_academic_libraries.html
http://www.rrlc.org/Home/hiddenstories/CoreLibraryandResearchSkillsGrad/tabid/550/Default.aspx
The other list was assembled by a SLMS from California. The list is based on dozens of emails from high school and college librarians in response to a query about the top 10 things students should learn about libraries before going to college. I’ll see if I can post it to the SLS web site.
