The Saskatchewan Institute of Applied Science and Technology, the University of Regina, and the University of Saskatchewan invite you to be a part of WILU 2011!

SPONSOR INFORMATION

The Workshop for Instruction in Library Use (WILU) is an annual conference devoted to bringing together the latest research and innovations in the area of information literacy and library instruction. For the first time, WILU will expand its focus beyond academic librarians to include public librarians, teacher-librarians, and library students. This means your organization’s message will reach an extremely diverse and influential group of librarians, educators, and decision-makers at the leading national forum for library instruction.

The theme this year is ‘Learning Under Living Skies’ and sessions on library instruction and information literacy will cover topics such as: transforming where learning takes places; exploring the many participants in learning; tools, techniques, and tricks used by educators; and understanding the passion and motivation behind teaching.

WILU 2011 will take place June 1st – 3rd,, 2011 at the University of Regina, Regina, Saskatchewan. Between 125 and 150 delegates and speakers, most involved in library instruction and education at institutions across Canada, are expected at the conference.
