Ideas For Library/ Information Assignments
Michael Lorenzen at the Information Literacy Land of Confusion posted about this web page from the Libraries of the Memorial University of Newfoundland. It is a great guide designed to assist faculty in creating research assignments and provides suggestions about types of assignments other than the traditional research paper. Very nice!
In poking around their web site out of my love of all things Canadian (including curling and The Sadies from Toronto, Ontario Canada) I saw that the Queen Elizabeth II Library has a cool pilot program called "Roaming Librarians" where some of their reference librarians provide reference services at regularly schedule times around campus using wireless technology. It will be interesting to see if it works out and gets extended. Any thoughts about providing wireless reference services outside the traditional library setting?

The new GPC-Clarkston Student Center will provide wireless access points, and we've discussed having a librarian with a tablet PC over there occasionally. The Student Center will be practically next door to the library, but who wants to leave a cool, shiny building for the boring ol' library?
