Using Tattooing To Teach Boolean Searching. Provides a library instruction lesson plan that details how to teach students about Boolean searching using tattooing as an example. http://www.libraryinstruction.com/boolean.html
Extractions: Information Literacy Blog Using Tattooing to Teach Boolean Searching Michael Lorenzen Knowledge of Boolean searching techniques is important for undergraduates to be successful in constructing searches in the catalog, databases and the Web. As such, it is important to introduce it to college students early in a library literacy course or during a one session BI session. This lesson uses active learning strategies to interest and teach students basic Boolean strategies. This is done by having students write and talk about tattooing. Ideally, the class will have between 15-25 students to allow for both small group work and a larger class discussion. The lesson detailed here takes about 50 minutes to conduct. The lesson works best with undergraduates who are in their first or second year of post-secondary education. It also works well with high school students. Objectives of Instruction: Components of the Instruction: It has been my experience that students do not arrive at library instruction sessions very excited or motivated to learn. The student may be enrolled in a library skills course as a graduation requirement and may have low expectations towards the course or the student is at the session because an instructor arranged for a class to receive library instruction. Either way, grabbing the attention of the students can be extremely difficult. As such, I have been using the concept of tattooing at the beginning of all basic class sessions dealing with online searching.

Extractions: Information Literacy Blog A Brief History of Library Instruction in the United States of America Michael Lorenzen (This paper originally appeared in Illinois Libraries in 2001.) It is likely that librarians have always to a limited degree been involved in classroom teaching. For example, it is hard to imagine that the librarians at the Great Library of Alexandria did not assemble from time to time small groups of students and visiting scholars and instruct them on the proper handling and use of the valuable scrolls that resided there. Throughout most of history librarians have been members of other professions (the clergy and scholars of various disciplines) who took on the additional duty of maintaining the library collection of their institutions. It is highly likely that these individuals introduced library concepts into their regular lectures pertaining to their area of expertise. Unfortunately, no written record appears to exist detailing how library instruction in the classroom was carried out or how often it was conducted. German library literature records various examples of library instruction from the 17th to 19th Centuries. Ewert (1986) gave a summary of this literature and detailed where the library instruction occurred, who generally was conducting it, and what was covered. Unfortunately, the article was written in communist East Germany and most of the examples are tied into how these instruction sessions ultimately aided the climate of revolution against capitalism. This makes it difficult to determine what the curriculum of the classes was or how many non-revolutionary library instruction examples may have occurred. Regardless, it shows that a tradition of library instruction in academic institutions had developed in Germany prior to the its origins in the United States in the late 19th Century. As the United State's higher education system is based on the German model, this may have influenced the earliest academic library instruction practitioners in the US.
