Mt. SAC’s Library received two honors for the College’s 2013 Presidential Awards for Excellence and Innovation in Teaching and Learning. These honors are determined by the College’s Outcomes Committee. The Library and Learning Resources Division, led by Dean Meghan Chen, was honored with a Presidential Award for Outstanding Basic Skills Effort for organizing a series of retreats to discuss planning, methods of assessment, use of results, and the opportunity to highlight outcomes-related achievements. Two librarians, Pauline Swartz and Nora Shea, earned Honorable Mention for Outstanding Curriculum. They were recognized for creating the curriculum, recommending pedagogy, and developing assessment tools for the Library’s information competency workshops. They also facilitated discussion about teaching and learning throughout this process.
