#ACRL2015 proceedings, presentations, tweets

The ACRL (North American academic librarians) conference just took place in Portland, USA. As usual there were sessions relevant to information literacy. The conference Twitter is https://twitter.com/ACRL2015 and the hashtag was https://twitter.com/hashtag/acrl2015?f=realtime.
There is a page with links to full papers from presenters (not all, I think, but quite a lot) at http://acrl.learningtimesevents.org/proceedings/ Examples of papers linked from this proceedings page (which are listed in alphabetical order of title) are:
