As information creation and dissemination continues to evolve, librarians must find strategic ways to equip students with the tools they need to be ethical and efficient researchers. This session will explore the experience of two librarians who proposed and designed credit-bearing courses focused on responsible digital citizenship and ethical use of artificial intelligence, offering the first for-credit library courses at Austin Peay State University. The presenters will discuss course design, learning outcomes, and teaching strategies, emphasizing practical applications. Attendees will gain an understanding of the courses' development along with insights into how to adapt these courses at their own institutions.
Participants will:
- Recognize the challenges of establishing for-credit library instruction, even when no such instruction is present at the institution, and develop a plan for implementing such courses despite these challenges.
- Identify strategies to develop their own curriculum for their courses centered on the library's strengths in information literacy and centered on the ACRL Framework for Information Literacy.
