"Experiential Information Literacy: Infusing Student Partnerships into Higher Education"
This year's Information Literacy Summit will explore how librarians are adapting their teaching practices with an eye towards the future.
Are we building sustainable and relevant information literacy programs that can keep pace with a rapidly changing information landscape in an increasingly uncertain world?
Technology & Power
How do we incorporate digital and algorithmic literacies into our information literacy programs? How can we prepare our students to navigate a rapidly changing technological landscape characterized by an uneven distribution of power and resources? What are the ethical implications of new technologies and how do we engage students with ethical questions in our instruction?
Epistemic Justice
How do we design information literacy programs grounded in respect for different forms of knowledge and the pursuit of social justice? How can we incorporate and value student voice in our pedagogy and ensure inclusive classrooms and curricula for an evolving student population?
Civic Engagement
What does a problem-based approach to information literacy look like? How can information literacy initiatives prepare students to engage with pressing social issues, in their academic work and beyond? How can we expand the conversation to include important stakeholders beyond our institutions, including our local communities?
Mis/disinformation
How do we tackle pressing issues of mis/disinformation and propaganda? How do we collaborate with teaching faculty and others in our communities to facilitate critical media literacies?
