In preparation for the first workshop, we would like each member
of the four-person team from your campus to consult with her or
his colleagues to draw on that constituency's various perspectives.
Each team member need only answer the questions directed to the
constituency he or she represents, but we suggest the team gather
together to provide brief answers to the questions below. The
project steering committee, with the help of student interns,
will use these answers in helping to design the workshop. In answering
the questions below, please consider what your role is in constructing
and storing knowledge and how you can work together with the four
constituencies involved in this workshop (librarians, faculty,
students, and information technologists) to fulfill those roles.
Completed forms from the Massachusetts and New York group should
be emailed to Susan Perry and from the Pennsylvania group to Elliott
Shore.
Questions for Faculty:
What is the course content and what are the pedagogical approaches
for which you want to draw on technological resources? Map out
the range and variation, including both the content and the kinds
of resources you encounter and need. What roles and responsibilities

What goals do you have for collaboration in this area?
What resources are you considering devoting to its future development?
Questions for Librarians:
What specific resources in the social sciences do you think would
best contribute to or support student learning in the classroom?
For each full-text database, index or other web-based information
source, explain briefly how it could help expand the students'
critical information gathering skills.
What roles and responsibilities do librarians on your campus currently
assume regarding the instruction in the use of electronic information
sources in support of student and faculty research?
What goals do you have for collaboration with faculty, students,
and information technologists in the field of electronic information?
Questions for Students:
What are your learning and research needs as defined by course
assignments? Map out the range and variation, including both the
content and the kinds of resources you encounter and need.
What goals do you have for collaboration in this area?
Questions for Information Technologists:
What technologies could enhance student and faculty research/teaching/learning?
Include a brief description of the technology and a brief explanation
of its potential usefulness.
What roles and responsibilities do you currently assume regarding
the use and
instruction of technology?
What goals do you have for collaboration in this area?
