Librarian Leaders in New Learning 
Communities

A CRL will offer a full-day preconference on “Librarian Leaders in New Learning 
Communities” on July 5, 1996, in New York 
City. The program will focus on preparing li­
brarians to take leadership roles on campus by 
participating in collaborative teams creating 
New Learning Communities (NLCs), employ­
ing the technology and resources o f the Inter­
net. Building on the experience o f two very 
successful NLC conferences, the program spon­
sors have d esig ned  this p re co n fe re n ce  to 
broaden the base o f librarians able to partici­
pate in such initiatives on their campuses.

The new  learning com m unities co n cep t 
builds on the collaborative model o f teaching 
and learning, in which students work together 
to make discipline concepts more meaningful 
and becom e partners with the instructor in the 
teaching and learning process. Collaborative 
learning results in greater understanding by stu­
dents in most cases. In the conception o f the 
Coalition for Networked Information’s NLC pro­
gram, the collaborative model o f teaching and 
learning is expanded to include collaborative 
development o f curricular content by teams of 
faculty and professionals from a variety o f units 
on campus, e.g., the library, computing center, 
instructional technology center, etc. The col­
laborative process o f developing curricular con­
tent results in a rich mix o f perspectives and 
expertise. Using the Internet as a vehicle for 
collaborative learning and using networked in­
formation resources as part o f the curricular 
content are also features of the Coalition’s pro­

gram. By participating in such initiatives on 
campus, librarians can becom e integral mem­
bers o f teaching/learning teams, bringing skills 
and perspectives on the use o f networked in­
formation into the curriculum.

The preconference will focus on the pro­
cess o f forming successful NLCs through part­
nerships o f faculty, librarians, information tech­
nologists, and others. Presentations by team 
members and educational leaders will help par­
ticipants gain an understanding o f the concepts 
involved in successful collaborations, to b e ex­
posed to examples o f NLCs in which student 
involvement and the teaching/learning process 
are emphasized, and to see projects from model 
programs. In addition, participants will work 
in small groups to exchange ideas with col­
leagues and develop plans to implement NLCs 
in their home institution.

Tom Kirk (college librarian, Earlham Col­
lege) will serve as the preconference facilitator 
and will be joined by speakers from a variety 
o f institutions.

The program will include:
• presentations by members o f institutional 

teams highlighting the process the teams are 
using on their campuses to develop their pro­
grams, and the collaborative nature o f these 
efforts;

• presentations by librarians from project 
teams focusing on their role in the project;

• presentations on the principles and vi­
sion underlying the concept o f NLCs and the 
characteristics o f such communities;

• small group sessions, organized by type 
o f library and facilitated by team members or 
past conference facilitators, where attendees will 
engage in information sharing related to new 
learning communities;

Joan K. Lippincott is assistant executive director o f  the Coalition f o r  Networked Information;
