In the

Welcome to the May 2013 issue of C&RL News.  
Thanks to everyone who joined us in Indianapo-
lis for ACRL 2013. It was a great conference! If 
your experiences inspired you to share your great 
ideas and projects with your peers, make sure to 
read Trudi Bellardo Hahn and Paul T. Jaeger’s ar-
ticle “From practice to publication” in this issue. 
They give an excellent overview of the publica-
tion process and lots of tips on the where’s and 
how’s of getting your work out in a variety of 
ways. Tina Baich looks at international publishing 
from the discovery angle in her Internet Resourc-
es article “The global research landscape.”

One hot topic in Indianapolis was the 
flipped classroom instructional model. Ilka 
Datig and Claire Ruswick continue the dis-
cussion by outlining “Four quick flips” they 
have successfully used in information literacy 
sessions. Their practical advice and activities 
can easily be applied to new or ongoing ex-
periments with flipping in libary instruction.   

Distance learning librarianship was on 
the ACRL 2013 docket as well. Rachel E.  

Cannady, Britt Fagerheim, Beth Filar Williams, 
and Heidi Steiner provide tips and advice on 
“Diving into distance learning librarianship”  
that can help both veterans and librarians 
new to distance learning services. 

Wrapping up our look at instruction this 
issue, Lindy Scripps-Hoekstra discusses how 
her experiences as a high school teacher 
translate to the information literacy classrom 
in her The Way I See It essay “Eight tips from 
the trenches.”

In this month’s ACRL TechConnect feature, 
Emily Ford of Portland State University exam-
ines moving Web usability card sorts studies 
online and discusses the question “Is digital 
better than analog?” 

Make sure to check out the other features 
and departments in this issue, including the 
second round of profiles of 2013 ACRL award 
winners and a brief overview of the upcoming 
2013 ALA Annual Conference in Chicago. 

Thanks as always for reading the News.
