A case study of a library instruction teaching experiment using the "Today I Learned" forum on the website reddit.com, this paper addresses teaching and assessment methods intended to promote self-monitoring in both the library instructor and student. After experimenting in the context of one-shot, lower-division, library instruction sessions, the TIL structure demonstrated strong opportunities for 1) eliciting declarative feedback from students about what they learn in library instruction sessions, 2) discussing how appropriate resource selection can effectively support a claim, and 3) modeling behaviors of lifelong learning while introducing unfamiliar students to an online forum founded in that spirit.

Privacy is a long-held value of information professionals, but new technologies of the contemporary digital age pose new risks to privacy. In an effort to build participatory, profession-wide action in support of designing privacy-oriented library services, two groups were formed with the goal of generating ideas and sustaining action: the National Forum on Web Privacy and Web Analytics, and Digital Library Federation Technologies of Surveillance Working Group. In this paper, members of these two groups present case study descriptions and analysis via reflective self-assessment. The authors discuss how these groups can serve as models of participatory action for integrating the value of privacy into the design of library services, technologies, policy, and outreach.
