CLC is thrilled to announce Bridging the Gap, a dynamic conference for:

· Connecticut high school librarians, media specialists, and teachers, AND

· Academic librarians from Connecticut colleges and universities.

Tuesday, July 15

8:30am - 3:00pm

CT State Manchester

FREE for CLC members

This unique event aims to strengthen collaboration between public schools and higher education institutions, enhancing the educational journey from high school to college.

The CLC College Outreach Committee, made up of dedicated Connecticut academic and high school librarians, is leading this initiative. The goal is to create a robust college outreach program that builds strong partnerships and ensures smooth transitions for students moving from high school to higher education.

We invite high school librarians to attend this event and bring along one or two colleagues. Academic librarians are also encouraged to attend.

CONFERENCE HIGHLIGHTS

MINI WORKSHOPS:

Digital Resources, Information Literacy, Primary Sources

These workshops are designed to foster conversations between academic librarians and high school educators, helping both groups learn from each other and support student success in transitioning to college or careers.

PUTTING INTO PRACTICE SESSIONS

In these sessions, participants will work in small groups with academic librarians to enhance a current research assignment or develop a new idea. Please bring an assignment you’ve already given or something you’ve wanted to create but haven’t had the time to develop.
