Attendees are encouraged to bring along a 1-2 page handout (15-20 copies) of thoughts, resources, references, programs, or ideas related to graduate student information literacy.
- Does your college/university have an established program for graduate students?
- Do you successfully work with individual programs at your institutions?
- How do you reach out to graduate students?
- How do you assess their skill level?
- Have you heard of or seen other exciting programs, articles, or resources regarding this issue?
We plan on a round robin type program, everyone will be in the spotlight for 5-10 minutes, depending on the number of people attending.

Roundtable Brainstorm on Graduate Students & Information Literacy - Barriers:
* reluctance to admit "I don't know"
* only at college for class
* work during the day, graduate class at night
* understanding of learning styles
* administration isn't fully supportive of IL
* students think they are computer saavy
* remote users
* too many programs to support
* 1/2 hour tops - not enough time
* reluctance to use non-computer sources
* lack of resources at institution
Notes from meeting:
We talked about blogs as well, and Alice shared a handout with links to sites.
