Administrative Resources
InStats (more info)The LILI Office asks all instruction librarians to record instructional activities using InStats.
InStats is a database to enter, store, and archive library instruction statistics. Any time instruction librarians teach a session (course related, tour, individual consultation, workshop, etc.) or provide instructional materials (library course page, Web site, handouts, etc.) they should fill out the form.
Room Calendars (more info)
Many room options are available to schedule instruction sessions. Most of the larger campus libraries allow any campus library staff to use their rooms for instructional purposes. Check with the library's Instruction Coordinator to explore scheduling options. For information concerning a particular room, please contact the individual library directly.

In some cases you will provide instruction in a course's normally scheduled classroom instead of in a library instruction lab. To determine what equipment is available in general education classrooms and find the contact information for those rooms' support staff, consult this chart: http://www2.fpm.wisc.edu/support/Classrooms/Attributes.htm
It's a good practice to discuss your equipment needs and options with the course instructor if you are going to be teaching in their classroom.
If you need to provide instructional services in a room that has no laptop or projector, you can check out this equipment from the Library Technology Group (LTG). LTG is located in Memorial Library and may be reached at 262-8880. You will want to make reservations in advance of your instruction session.
Specific campus libraries may also have equipment that can be used for remote teaching. For more information contact your Instruction Coordinator or the LILI Office.

LILI Space (more info)
A My WebSpace group account provides a working space for instruction-related working groups to develop and work on projects, for individual instruction librarians to collaborate on projects, and for campus instruction librarians to share instruction-related articles, papers, etc. Please note that the full text of the shared articles will be cleared out annually to comply with copyright laws.
Use your own Net ID and password to log into My WebSpace. A library staff member can gain access to LILI Space by subscribing to the infolit-l email list. If LILI Space does not appear under the "Bookmarks" or "Group Directories" section, contact your Instruction Coordinator.
LILI Groups
Interest Groups (more info)LILI Forum is a brownbag held on the first Wednesday of the month, 12-1pm, for all campus librarians with interest in instruction. The typical format of the brownbag consists of announcements from the campus LILI Program coordinator, campus instruction-related working groups, and campus libraries with news relevant to instruction followed by a program or discussion on instruction issues. Two co-chairs plan and organize the forum in coordination with the LILI Program coordinator. The LILI Instruction Coordinators Planning Group often suggests topics.
The current co-chairs are Pamela O'Donnell (podonnell@library.wisc.edu) and Karen Dunn (kdunn@library.wisc.edu).
An archive of agendas and minutes from past LILI Forums can be found on the Professional Development page of this web site.
The LILI Instruction Coordinators Planning Group has created an IT Interest Group that will enable LILI librarians to discuss the potential application of new instructional technologies to LILI. To learn more about what this group discusses visit their LILI IT Interest Group Blog.
If you are interested in participating in these discussions contact Tom Durkin (tdurkin@library.wisc.edu).
