- Instruction Clearinghouse
- The OhioLINK User Services Committee Training Task Force and ALAO Instruction Interest Group began the Instruction Clearinghouse as a collaborative effort. It continues to be maintained by an ALAO member who is appointed as the Clearinghouse Coordinator. Academic librarians in Ohio are invited to contribute materials related to any aspect of instruction and reference services in Ohio libraries. A wide variety of materials are accssible here, including handouts, bibliographies and subject guides, pathfinders, tutorials, and reference/instruction department web pages.
- Member libraries have provided these materials in the spirit of community and cooperation. Items may be copied and used freely. Proper credit should be given to the original authors. Questions about adapting an item should be directed to the originating library.
- To contribute your library's materials to the Instruction Clearinghouse, send URLs to Mary Lee (Mel) Jensen (mjensen@kent.edu).
