Clearinghouse for Library Instruction

MEMBERSHIP

LOEX membership operates on a calendar year basis. The membership rate for 2012 is currently the amazingly low price of either $80.00 (print and online-access to the Quarterly) or $72 (online-access only)! Invoicing for a new membership year begins in November of the preceding year. Members will be notified of any change in the membership rate in their invoice or by their subscription service agent. All librarians and staff affiliated with a LOEX member library are invited to join the LOEX E-List in order to receive LOEX Currents, our monthly current awareness e-newsletter, and notification of the PDF posting of our regular publication, LOEX Quarterly. If you are not sure your library is a LOEX member, please e-mail us for verification. If your library is a member, we will add you to the LOEX e-distribution list for receipt of Currents and the Quarterly.

Our substantive publication is published and mailed 4 times per year. It includes practical articles on library instruction and information literacy as well as reports on instruction and information literacy initiatives around the world. The Quarterly also features its regular columns: "News from the LOEX Office", "Book Review", "Eye for Design", "TechMatters", and "The Quarterly Interview." Individuals at member libraries may receive the electronic version of the Quarterly by request.

Our monthly current awareness service (published September through May) is available upon request to individuals at member libraries. It includes news bites, announcements and other time-sensitive information such as job postings, of interest to those engaged in instruction and information literacy efforts.

LOEX sponsors a national conference each spring. LOEX conferences are often hosted by member libraries throughout the United States. These conferences, which focus on practical applications in instruction and information literacy, give attendees opportunities to meet colleagues, learn about successful programs and regain their momentum. Librarians at member institutions are given priority registration for LOEX conferences, which typically fill quickly.

After each conference, LOEX members receive online access to the recordings of all LOEX Encore virtual sessions (in September, after the live sessions occur in May) and the conference proceedings (one year after they are published in print).

LOEX Web Site
The LOEX Web site was redesigned in 2004 and again in 2007 to better reflect its content and focus. Access to the LOEX site is without charge and is a service to the library instruction and information literacy community providing links to relevant resources in the field and serving as a marketing tool for membership in LOEX.

LOEX maintains an historical collection of library instruction materials. These include flyers, syllabi, videos, tutorials, handbooks, and similar materials. Although this print/media collection is now closed in terms of new acquisitions, librarians at member institutions may request materials.
