Photo by Sheila Webber: Roast squashThe Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) conference takes place March 29 - April 1st in Baltimore, USA. There are various Information Literacy talks and events e.g. the workshop Tossing a Life Preserver! Using Characteristics of Best Practices to Assess Your Information Literacy Program and the session Rocking the Boat & Catching the Wave: A Gaming Solution for Library Instruction ("Because computer games are popular among “millennials,” University of Cincinnati librarians created an online interactive game that actively engages students in learning about plagiarism. The panel will discuss the creation of the game, share assessment results and will demonstrate it.") Information is at: http://www.ala.org/ala/acrl/acrlevents/
