Julie and Sheila will give us an overview of what to expect from the series and explain the concept of Information Literacy. Julie Tharp and Sheila Hofstetter Librarians and faculty support the same mission and share similar professional obligations; namely to help students succeed academically. Both want students to be skilled researchers, use the most robust resources available, and ultimately, produce high quality papers. Each brings a different set of knowledge and perspectives on how to make this happen. These innovative collaborations have broken traditional roles to meet the changing nature of learning and access to information. ASU Faculty and Librarians Team-Up for Students Success looks at new teaching methods and techniques that capture students’ imaginations, build confidence and gain the skills they need. Five topics will be address within each episode: What motivations created these collaborations? What goals and outcomes are they expecting? What new activities or approaches have they tried? What differences did it make? What are their next steps?

Click image to view streaming version On February 23, 2007 Alberto Ríos, Regents’ Professor of English, Arizona State University, gave the closing keynote to FORO 2007. He asks, “In the next century, so hungry for answers and so fearful of ideas, how do we move forward? And more than that, how do we move forward together?” Along with self-reflective anecdotes, Alberto sends out six hopeful challenges to librarians as caring and thinking people: Diversity: It is not a goal but a means by which we will arrive at something greater than we currently understand. Invisible Populations: We need solutions not laws Economics: We must move from a money economy to an idea economy. Dialogue: We need to move back to true conversation. Half of language is listening. Are libraries listening and do they know how to listen? Languages: With many languages come many answers. Languages are a richness and a solution, not a problem. Words are ideas, and ideas lead to vital and evolving solutions. Education: It never fails us. An educated person learns how to solve problems. We will pay for education, but it always pays us back. “Every pencil is filled with a book. It’s my job to know that, to believe it, and to act on it.” – Alberto Ríos Download iPod Ready Video Podcast(Requires QuickTime or iTunes player) Or view streaming version here!

Assistant Professor of Music History and Literature, Sabine Feisst and Christopher Mehrens, Head of the Music Library, join host Fred McIlvain for a truly interesting and enlightening discussion of John’s life and works. We will also hear excerpts from John’s compositions throughout the program. Download Podcast (MP3) Adams has created a unique musical world grounded in the Northern wilderness landscapes and indigenous cultures, and in natural phenomena from the songs of birds to elemental noise of crashing glaciers. Much of his music is contemplative, expansive and pictorial. But he also composed percussive and rhythmically vigorous works inspired by Inuit drumming. Adams’ works for orchestra, ensembles, percussion and electronic media have been widely performed and recorded by prominent musicians. Adams came to classical music through a fascination with progressive rock. After music studies at the California Institute of the Arts, he moved to Alaska where he worked as an environmentalist fighting for the preservation of pristine wilderness areas. These experiences led him to explore the ideal of “Sonic Geography,” a music of place deeply resonating with the philosophies of Deep Ecology and Bioregionalism. Free concerts, a sound installation, roundtables, workshops and an exhibit run April 23-27.
