Leave with concrete strategies and action plans for tackling controversial topics, misinformation, and media literacy. • Impostor Syndrome in Instruction Librarians: Impact and solutions (February 28, 2019): Impostor syndrome is a form of anxiety characterized by lack of confidence in one’s own knowledge and competence, the feeling that success is undeserved, and a fear that one will be “revealed” as an impostor. Learn how to identify impostor syn- drome, how it affects us personally and profession- ally, and how to take steps to push back against it. • Training LIS Students and New Librarians for Careers in Instruction— Part One (March 6 and March 13, 2019): Teaching and presentation skills are crucial in librarianship, and many new librarians can feel uncertain in these roles due to no formal training. It’s important to help LIS students and new librarians develop these skills in order that they feel comfortable run- ning a classroom and presenting to different departments across campus. This special two-part series will provide practical and teachable approaches for librarian faculty of library and information science students, or librarians mentoring new librarians, to help you prepare them to succeed in their future careers as instruction librarians. • Teaching Online in Plain Language: Creating Clear Research Guides, Library Websites, and Online Instruction (April 24, 2019): “Plain language” is a term from the legal field: federal law requires that govern- ment agencies use clear communication that the public can understand and use. As online teachers, we can take advantage of the set of clear guidelines and best practices that has grown up around this requirement. Whether you’re writing for a library website, a tuto- rial, a research guide, or some other format, you’ll learn how to make your materials more accessible to the widest possible audience. http://bioone.org http://bioone.org http://www.ala.org/acrl/onlinelearning http://www.ala.org/acrl/onlinelearning February 2019 73 C&RL News ment Committee has selected five sites to host the “Scholarly Communication: From Under- standing to Engagement” RoadShow work- shop at a subsidized rate in 2019.
