Exploring ACRL Midwinter Topics
Engaging with the ACRL
Framework: A Catalyst for
Exploring and Expanding Our
Teaching Practices

The ACRL Framework for Information
Literacy for Higher Education - with its
emphasis on self-reflective and lifelong learning and on conceptual understandings about
information, research, and scholarship and
encouraging - has prompted many librarians
to consider their teaching practices from
fresh angles, as they explore their evolving
instructional roles within and beyond the
library classroom. The Framework's vision
of information literacy education as a shared
responsibility of all educators suggests both
opportunities and challenges for teaching
librarians, as we expand pedagogical approaches and partnerships. This day-long
workshop supports librarians in engaging
more deeply with the Framework and ex-

ploring ways that it may help to enrich their
individual teaching practices, as well as their
local instruction programs and institutions.
The workshop will be held from 8:00 a.m.
- 4:00 p.m. on Friday, February 9, 2018.
Complete details are available at www.ala.
org/acrl/conferences/frameworkworkshop.
Applying Descriptive
Cataloging of Rare Materials
(Manuscripts)
Sponsored by ACRL's Rare Books
and Manuscripts Section, this day-long
workshop will provide an introduction to
DCRM(MSS), the new RBMS standard
for cataloging individual manuscripts.
Attendees will acquire an understanding
of the considerations involved in cataloging individual manuscripts, and will gain
practice in applying DCRM(MSS) to the
cataloging of different types of manuscripts
commonly found in special collections using provided examples. Each attendee will
receive a hard copy of the DCRM(MSS)
manual. Participants should have experience in MARC cataloging using AACR2;
familiarity with DCRM(B) and/or DACS
will be helpful. Cosponsored by the Denver
Public Library, the workshop will be held
onsite at DPL from 11:00 a.m. - 6:00
p.m. on Monday, February 12, 2018. More
details are available at www.ala.org/acrl/
conferences/descriptivecataloging.
