Teaching in the resource discovery environment presents new opportunities and challenges
Find out how your colleagues in the UW System are using the Xerxes interface to provide access to resources via Metalib. Share your experiences and ask your questions.

Be prepared to discuss the following:

1. Does your campus use Xerxes? If so, to what extent? What kind of training have you received?
2. How do you teach with Xerxes?
3. How do you incorporate Xerxes without giving up important material in the class time?
4. Is it always appropriate to include Xerxes in your information literacy sessions?
5. When is Xerxes the preferred search method, and when is it not?
6. How could Xerxes be better? What are some of its really nice features?
