AUK Librarian to Attend Professional Development Program

Asma J Yaqoub Al-Kanan, AUK's Reference/Instruction Librarian, got admission to the ACRL Institute for Information Literacy Immersion '09 Program. The program provides four and-a-half-days intensive information literacy training and education for instruction librarians from different institutions worldwide. It is an annual affair and admission to the program is competitive. 

Asma is currently providing information literacy sessions in coordination with faculty members at AUK. She is eager to do more, learn more and be an active part of the campus community. Asma's participation in this program is a great opportunity to enhance her instruction skills combined with work experience that she already has. The program will be held in St. Petersburg, Florida in July at Eckerd College.
