ACRL Online Seminar: "Creating a Comprehensive Plan for Information Literacy"
In the fall of 2006 I participated in the above seminar offered by the Association of College & Research Libraries. I collaborated with Jackson Library's First-Year Instruction Coordinator on a plan to help ensure that freshmen could retain information-seeking strategies throughout their college careers. Both of us received certificates of completion at the end of the seminar.

Teaching Resources Center Promotional Materials
From January 2006 to May 2007, I worked as a graduate assistant in the Teaching Resources Center (TRC) Library, which serves UNCG's School of Education. Below is a brochure I made to promote the services of the TRC for an assignment in my Media Production class (LIS 616).

Later that fall, I used the photographs that I had taken for my brochure to construct a tri-board about the TRC. This board was presented to the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) during the School of Education's reaccreditation process. Below are some photos I took of the finished tri-board.
