Description

Librarians and Academic Information Associates at Macalester have collaborated in designing and delivering a required Library/ITS session for all first year courses for several years. Google Apps has played a strong supporting role in the session as well. We will discuss the development of this program, the collaboration between faculty and staff that we have fostered, and the benefits for students.
