Building Intellectual Community Through Collaboration

The Perlman Center for Learning and Teaching and the Writing Program at Carleton invite proposals from faculty for chapters of a new volume tentatively titled Building Intellectual Community Through Collaboration. Based on the success of the first volume of faculty essays, Reflection on Learning as Teachers, we invite faculty to write from their professional experience, using workshop methods to prepare an edited collection of related chapters. Editors will be Carol Rutz, Director of the Writing Program (and co-editor of the previous volume) and Mary Savina, Coordinator of the LTC. Funds from the Mellon Faculty Lifecycles Grant will support this project.

workshop dates were: 15-19 August and 22-26 August, 2005

Contact Mary Savina or Carol Rutz.

Information Literacy and Writing Across the Curriculum conference and workshop, July 31-August 2, 2005

ARTstor Workshop: Wednesday, February 2, 4:30 pm CMC 110

Heidi Eyestone, Curator of the Slide Collection for Art & Art History, will facilitate the LTC faculty workshop Wednesday, February 2, about ARTstor. From the ARTstor website: The roots of ARTstor, as well as its name, can be traced to the Foundation's creation of JSTOR. JSTOR's goal is to serve the scholarly community by building, making available, and preserving a reliable and comprehensive archive of important scholarly journal literature. ARTstor was created in recognition of an increasing focus in the educational community on creating digital image resources in support of teaching needs. ARTstor's Digital Library Collection is a repository of hundreds of thousands of digital images and the tools to actively use those images in a restricted usage environment that seeks to balance the rights of content providers with the needs and interest of content users. http://www.artstor.org/info/about/history_mission.jsp.

Baird Jarman, Assistant Professor of Art History; and Lew Weinberg, Academic Computing Coordinator are co-facilitators for the workshop which includes a short introduction of ARTstor, a demonstration and questions.
Please RSVP to hold your place to Jennifer Cox Johnson, in the LTC (x4192 or jcoxjohn@carleton.edu) There are 26 spaces available to faculty for the ARTstor workshop.
