Learning communities and ACRL

Everyone is invited to join an informal discussion forum during ALA’s Midwinter Meeting that will focus on ACRL as a learning community. ACRL President Mary Reichel will lead the discussion and highlight her theme of learning communities and excellence in academic libraries.

In the November 2001 issue of C&RL News, Don Frank, Sarah Beasley, and Susan Kroll provided an overview of learning communities in higher education with examples of successful programs that involved librarians.¹ Learning communities can be characterized as the coming together of individuals in the spirit of exploration and learning in an interdisciplinary environment. Along with the deep learning that occurs over time is a development of a mutual responsibility for the community.²

The Monday forum at Midwinter will focus on how ACRL, acting as a learning community through its sponsored programs and activities, has promoted excellence in academic library services. Specific examples of how libraries have benefited by ACRL programs will be presented. This is a great opportunity for ACRL members to come together as a learning community to share their stories about the kinds of programs ACRL has supported and to discuss their participation in specific learning communities on their campuses. Come and find out more about learning communities and ACRL. Network with other academic librarians. The discussion forum will be held on Monday, January 21, 2002, from 9:30-11 a.m. Check the Midwinter Meeting calendar for location.—Jill Newby, Science Librarian, Weber State University, jnewby@weber.edu.
