What's the difference between information literacy and library instruction? Come to a brown bag lunch presentation in the library's Cannell Room and find out! Mark you calendars for Friday, October 4, at 12:00 noon, , for an informative and entertaining presentation by Kitty Mackey. You'll also get a demonstration of some of the new online services the library is providing to meet the information needs of the Clark Community both on and off campus. So bring your lunch -- we'll provide the dessert!
