Recorded: Wednesday, August 15th, 2012 @ 4:00 pm - 4:45 pm CDT
Duration: 45 min
In this age of the ubiquitous mobile device, information and digital literacy skills remain as essential as they have always been for critical thinking. However, in mobile spaces, it is often difficult for librarians and other information professionals to create pathways for the acquisition of these skills. It can be especially challenging in this environment to construct training spaces for outreach populations. Even so, the mobile environment can be as exciting as it is taxing. This presentation explores some of those challenges and suggests opportunities for outreach coaching.
