As liaison librarians at a regional comprehensive university in a state currently challenging the importance of higher education and libraries, the last few years have caused us to zoom out and reflect on our work. We have felt some disconnect between our value systems as librarians and the work our liaison faculty invites us to do. In this presentation, we identify ways to support students in being information-literate global citizens beyond our classrooms. By making small choices within our circle of control, we are setting a controlled burn before we find ourselves as collateral damage.

Participants will:
  1. Identify their goals for their students as information literate global citizens.
  2. Analyze their current information literacy instruction and whether it meets the challenges of the present moment.
  3. Explore ways to prioritize goals for creating information literate global citizens in current library instruction and possibilities for the future.
