The purpose of this blog is to document my experience as a new instruction librarian, as well as to learn from other people who have had experiences in teaching. Furthermore, I would also like to share our teaching experiences in the Gulf region with the rest of the library world.
This blog is a collaborative effort. It is an informal dialogue between people sharing their teaching and learning experiences. Please don’t hesitate to post anything that is relevant, and please share this blog with your colleagues as well.
I suppose the ‘about’ page is also a good place for me to introduce myself. My name is Kayo Chang. I am originally from Vancouver, Canada. I completed my Masters in Library and Information Studies at University of Alberta in 2008. Currently, I am work as a Reference/Instruction Librarian at Zayed University in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. This is my first professional job and I am learning and having a lot of fun!
I hope to learn from other librarians. Please contact me, Kayo Chang (kayo.chang@zu.ac.ae) if you would like to be a part of this adventure!
