Today our class was amazingly interesting, as far as learning how to teach unmotivated undergraduates goes.
We had a guest speaker who was full of energy and pep, which somehow reminded me of one of my roommates. I think if these two girls met, they'd be insta-friends.
This Instruction Library was extremely passionate about teaching and libraries, and so animated that it was hard to keep from smiling or laughing at every pause in the classroom dialog. She's a firm believer in humor as a necessary component of library instruction, which is great. No more stodgy librarian crap. We're fun people, didn't you know?
The guest speaker had so many great one-liners and cute comments that Kate and I began keeping lists of possible T-shirt or button slogans, a few of which follow. I'll try to get more of Kate's this weekend, she copied down the best ones.
First, Buttons:
Information literacy = life
Librarians = Control Freaks
Next, T-shirts:
I've got some problems in my pocket...that I brought for you.
Librarians are always genuinely interested.
