Librarians, Students, and Information Literacy, Oh My! Paths to Continuous Improvement

Type of workshop:

Special Interest Group Gathering

Convener: Les Kong, CARL Executive Board member and Coordinator for Media Services, CSU San Bernardino

Apr 18, 2012 - 2:00pm - - 4:00pm

This SIG gathering, sponsored by the California Academic and Research Libraries (CARL) will present different paths to effective planning and assessment for continuous improvement in the competency of information literacy. We can't promise that all paths lead to the emerald city, but we hope the session will demystify information literacy lingo and allow those with a commitment to information literacy - faculty and administrators as well as librarians and other campus educators - to explore which path might fit best with their institution's expectations, initiatives, and culture. Speakers will discuss scenarios for information literacy outcomes as part of general education, library program review, academic program review, learning communities, and other programs. A special focus will be the level of proficiency that an institution expects its students to achieve by graduation and how to document it. We look forward to a lively conversation.

Discussion leaders: Gabriela Sonntag, Library Director, Armacost Library, University of Redlands; April Cunningham, Instruction Coordinator, Library, Saddleback College; Pam Baker, Coordinator for Library Instruction; Sarah Dahlen, Reference and Instruction Librarian, CSU Monterey Bay
