ULA wants to allow for physical distancing so rooms will have some lower capacity. Arrive early to your sessions. When a room reaches capacity, the doors will be closed to indicate that the session is full.

The Utah Library Association advocates for libraries and cultivates leadership development to promote library excellence for the Utah Library community.
How do you provide a quality, user-focused library orientation to almost 5,000 students in 240 classes each year? Design a game! We solved the perennial issue of having enough staff to teach first-year writing classes by enlisting our student employees to teach basic information literacy and library navigation in a one-session game format. Join us to learn how using gamification and peers as instructors can transform your library instruction program.
Learning objectives: Use gamification strategies to engage new students with library resources and services. Train student employees to provide initial library orientation to free up non-student staff to teach more complex information literacy sessions.
