This session examines how the instruction librarians at Brandel Library of North Park University transformed their information literacy vision for incoming undergraduate students into a robust program by identifying and communicating with campus collaborators, carefully constructing student learning outcomes, and designing assessments with a student-centered approach. It will highlight challenges related to faculty buy-in and striking a balance between information literacy instruction that is both broad enough to impact all students, and specific enough to prepare them for upper level courses in their majors.
Participants will be able to:
- identify key stakeholders and potential collaborators on their campus for promoting information literacy as a learning outcome for their institution's core curriculum or first year experience program.
- articulate how their library's information literacy learning outcomes relate to their institution's core curriculum or first year experience program.
- link these shared learning outcomes to creative library instruction methods for use in their institution's core curriculum or first year experience program.
