[Fla-facrl] Call for Chapters

Tue Apr 14 16:21:25 EDT 2026

Hi, Julie.  I noticed the name of Jamie Gregory.  I do recall, when working
as librarian / professor of library instruction & Reference & Music
Appreciation at Palm Beach Community / State College (began at the
community college, retired when it was State College). there was a
librarian with the last name of Gregory, but not sure it was Jamie.
Victoria Gregory maybe?

Your message caught my eye because even though I am retired to upstate New
York, I am a lifetime member of ALA and still pay dues to ACRL.  Have not
connected with those here in New York.  But I am back in my hometown of
Newark Valley, NY, in Tioga County.  Don't be confused that this is a
rather conservative county in the state of New York because I find it
interesting to stand up for what is right!  As the late Bernadette Storck
always promoted with me.  Bernadette was one of the outstanding supervisors
with whom I worked during my entire education and library career.

I answer this email because I MIGHT have something to offer. But it was so
many years ago, that the names of schools and teachers are forgotten.

My library director, Brian Kelley, at Palm Beach, listened to me explain
how, as a high school student here in Tioga County, NY (near Cornell
University), I was enrolled in a college research writing class.  Our
teacher, one of the finest (in my opinion), took our class to Cornell
University's Olin Library to do research for our college paper.  We were
all students on a path to college, so going to that seven-story (?) library
was astounding for all of us.  It really helped me in researching and
writing a paper about "The Rise of Jazz Music in America."  Or some title
like that.

In those days, the librarians at Cornell identified their work as
"bibliographic instruction."  By the time I retired, we often identified it
as Library,Database & Internet Research Instruction.

In those days of the 1990s, we did community outreach by teaching SEFLIN
Freenet to the community.  I began that instruction program there.  When
Mr. Kelley heard about my high school experience at Cornell University, he
approached some Palm Beach County private middle and high schools where
there was no library or "bibliographic instruction."  We often had classes
in our "Internet Lab" (actual name in those days was Electronic Library
Lab) in the library so as to teach them about researching in our library
and on the Internet in its early years (before Google when we used FTP
Archie and FTP Gopher, plus others; this was before the use of gui with
hypertext protocols and Yahoo, WebCrawler, plus others).   .

I could write something about what we did in those days in working with
middle school students, primarily.

Such examples would be about "bibliographic instruction."

Additionally, I eventually became certified in Bernice McCarthy's 4MAT
Conceptual Learning which was used more in middle and high school than at
the college, although a number of my professor colleagues wanted to use it
at the college, too. Thus, related to middle school, I could write about
this conceptual learning practice.

I often say, nothing ventured, nothing gained.  So I just lay my cards on
the table with these possibilities, in reply to your solicitation for
writing possibilities.
