VENDOR AREA
Welcome to the Vendor Area of the LACUNY Institute 2000
website! The Library Association of the City
University of New York (LACUNY) hosts an Institute each year that
focuses on an issue of interest and import to librarianship. This year's
Institute is titled, Information Literacy: Laying the Foundations. The
Institute will be held on Friday, May 19, 2000 at the Conference Center.
Baruch College is conveniently and centrally located in the Grammercy
Park neighborhood of Manhattan. The Institute is a full-day event that
traditionally attracts between 150 and 200 librarians from academic,
special, research and public libraries. While most of the librarians
come from the tri-state area of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut,
the Institute attracts librarians from all over the country and from
Canada as well. We expect a good turnout for this year's timely topic of
information literacy. Friends, Supporters and Sponsors will be
recognized as financial backers of the Institute in the program and
continue to be listed on this website. Levels of participation are as
follows: Please note that only the first seven
Sponsors can be accommodated due to limitations in live Internet access. The Institute program includes a keynote
address, panel discussions, breakout workshops and poster sessions.
Presenters will touch upon the teaching of information literacy in
collaboration with faculty, distance learning, using Blackboard's
CourseInfo for teaching information literacy classes, Web-based
tutorials and many more interesting topics. Time has been scheduled throughout the
day to allow participants to visit vendor displays. Vendor displays with
