Montclair State University Libraries is seeing years of collaborative conversations come to fruition with the mapping of Engaged Citizenry and Critical Information Literacy (CIL) across the new general education curriculum. The newfound structural gateway into the curriculum presents challenges and opportunities for our already under-resourced team. In order to be successful, we are prioritizing our professional well-being and grounding our instruction program in a foundation of caring, both for our students and ourselves. This presentation will cover the initial planning stages, restructuring our program, creating a community around teaching amongst librarians, and introducing the concept of CIL to faculty.
Drew Wallace, Montclair State University, co-created this presentation.Participants will:
- Identify opportunities to guide faculty in incorporating Critical Information Literacy within their course
- Recognize the elements of a library instruction program that focus on the value of self-care and collaboration.
