		+	==== Choose Your Own Adventure Presentation ====
		+
		+	'''Learning Objectives:''' First-year students learn about all the services the libraries offer so they know how the libraries can support them. Give the students a positive introduction to the Libraries.
		+
		+	Using clicker technology (aka student response systems), I give a presentation I call "Choose Your Own Adventure." On each powerpoint slide, I give students two library services to choose from. They give me feedback using their "clicker." Services highlighted in the presentation include: presentation practice room, Student Technology Assistance Center (our multimedia lab), Laptop checkout, Key Finding Service, Credit-based library courses that we teach, etc. In short, I tell them about ALL the services, aside from what they already know we have: BOOKS.
		+
		+	Then at the end of class, I take them through the building to show them where all the services they learned about are located.
		+
		+	I also use highlighters as prizes for students that ask questions or answer questions or participate in any constructive manner.

 Our PL program matches each incoming freshman with a Yale librarian, or PL.  The PLs send occasional announcements (approximately every 3-4 weeks) to their students about various research tools and databases, lead tours of Sterling Memorial and Bass Libraries (the two libraries most heavily used by undergraduates) at the beginning of the year and tours of other collections as the academic year goes on, and generally remain available for research assistance (by e-mail, IM or office hours) for the first two years of a student's Yale career.  When the student declares a major, their PL will introduce them to their Subject Specialist, a librarian with collection development and research responsibilities in their discipline, who will help them with the work they do for the junior seminars and eventually senior essays or projects, which are required of most majors here.
-We're technically in the second stage of the pilot phase of this program, the first stage being a tryout with a subset, 120 students, of last year's freshman class.  The students in that group really liked the idea of having their "own" librarian.  Once we got the support of Yale's Dean of Undergraduate Education and the Dean of Freshman Affairs, we entered the second stage of the pilot: determining whether we could scale up, and recruit enough librarians to work with the Class of 2012, which has 1320 students.   We were able to find 31 librarians to join us this academic year.   In order to make the offer more appealing, we said participating librarians could take on a minimum of 10 students, but the upper limit was up to them - if they would agree to participate for two years.  So some of us are working with only 10 students, and others, like myself, have many, many more than 10 students.  So far that isn't a problem, but this is something we'll be monitoring closely throughout the academic year.  I should also mention that our PL program is based on a similar program (with the same name) that Yale's Medical Library has had in place for many years, which is very successful.   I'm aware of the University of Chicago's Class Librarian program, which is slightly different (one librarian follows an entire class, for four years) but not of anything quite like ours.
