Learning in Costa Rican Libraries – a Pilot iSchool Library Camp

Learning in Costa Rican Libraries – a Pilot iSchool Library Camp

This poster is based on the presenter’s course-related field trip to Costa Rica during the 2018 spring break. This trip is part of the first iSchool study abroad program that was made possible through two-year collaborative efforts among several units. During the field trip, a pilot library camp was operated to offer participants extensive cross-cultural activities in San Jose and Southern Costa Rica. The presenter will provide feedback on the overall library camp program from an attendee’s perspective and share some insights as a potential information professional with a global citizenship. Reflections included in the poster consist of “LIS Implications”, “Community Observation”, and “Cultural Highlights.” Although the library camp is not as prevailing as IT/tech camps, it is hoped that this poster can bring in more conversation on this type of library camp and help develop future library camp programs.
