I have been using a blog to complement my instruction/information literacy efforts for about a year. My <a href="http://www.library.ohiou.edu/subjects/businessblog/">Business Blog</a> has been an effective tool in providing access to resources outside of the classroom. Because I can post resources on the blog, I can address more about information literacy in the library instruction sessions. Given that most of the sessions that I teach are limited to 50-60 minutes, the blog is a great way to point students to resources or concepts that I did not have time to cover in class. It is also a great way to make sure students/faculty are aware of new resources, and the blog is also a wonderful resource to promote library materials and services. Good luck with your presentation.
