ACRL News Issue (B) of College & Research Libraries 502 / C&RL News ■ July/August 2002 IN T E R N E T R E SO U R C ES Navigating the Web of discourse on the scholarship of teaching and learning An annotated Webliography by Musa Abdul Hakim We believe the tim e has com e to move be­ y o n d the tired old “teaching versus re­ search ” debate a n d give the fa m ilia r a n d honorable term “scholarship” a broader, m ore capacious m eaning, one that brings legitim acy to the f u l l scope o f academ ic work. Surely, scholarship m eans engaging in original research. B u t the work o f the scholar also m e a n s stepping back fr o m o n e ’s investigation, looking f o r co n n e c ­ tions, building bridges between theory a n d practice, a n d com m unicating o n e ’s know l­ edge effectively to students. — E. L. Boyer, 1990 In 1998, the Carnegie Foundation and the Pew Charitable Trusts launched a m ultiyear project called the Carnegie Academy for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (CASTL) to support the developm ent of a scholarship of teaching and learning in academ e. In the present academ ic environm ent, w here teach­ ing is still undervalued in favor of research, the initiative has beg u n to stimulate a change of academ ic culture that som e feel is long overdue. Due to the lack of a com prehensive index to the grow ing num ber of sites on the schol­ arship of teaching and learning, finding m a­ terials on this subject can be time consum ­ ing. This selective annotated Web guide or “W ebliography” aims to facilitate access to W eb-based information on the burgeoning in­ ternational CASTL project. In this W ebliography I have selected only sam ple sites that are either illustrative of the project’s objectives and achievem ents or sites with indexes and links to additional print and Internet resources.1 O rg a n iz a tio n s a n d ass o c iatio n s • A m e r ic a n A s s o c i a t i o n f o r H ig h e r E d u c a tio n (AAHE).
