Student Training

Are you a student who needs some individual training on a software program? Would you like someone to show you how to add video to a presentation? Or maybe how to add material to your e-portfolio in Chalk & Wire?

You can get training through the Information Commons! Please do not visit the Commons Desk and ask for immediate training, though. Instead, send an email to infocommons@butler.edu and one of our Information Commons Assistants will get back to you to set up an appointment. For more information, visit http://www.butler.edu/infocommons.

Online training materials can be found on the Instructional Technology website, including Online Training, ePortfolio materials, and the Digital Video Support Center.

October 2009 is National Information Literacy Awareness Month

Check out President Obama's declaration of October 2009 as National Information Literacy Awareness month: http://www.whitehouse.gov/the_press_office/Presidential-Proclamation-National-Information-Literacy-Awareness-Month/. The statement points to many concepts that are taught here at Butler during library instruction sessions.
