Taking Active Learning To The Next Level: Increasing Student Engagement By Blending Face-To-Face Instruction And Digital Learning Objects, Lindsey Mclean, Elisa Acosta
LMU Librarian Publications & Presentations
The instruction librarians at a four-year, private university developed a multi-year information literacy instruction program to meet recently implemented information literacy learning outcomes in the university’s new core curriculum. The sequential information literacy instruction program includes two required library interventions in the first year - a tutorial to introduce students to basic information literacy concepts and a face-to-face library instruction session to build on the concepts learned in the tutorial. This structured program has presented many opportunities for the librarians to experiment with and assess creative and innovative approaches to instruction. In this presentation we will discuss one such approach …

Institute of Research Design for Librarianship (IRDL) is a three-year project funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services in the United States, which seeks to provide professional development opportunities and a support system for academic librarians who want to improve their research skills and increase their research output. We have recently completed the first nine-day Institute for 25 librarians from all over the country, and we would like to share our experience with the international community, hoping to generate more interest and encourage more discussion on practitioner research in LIS.
The Library As Social Contract: Linking Information Literacy And Practice In A Service Learning-Based Context, Michael Courtney
The Library As Social Contract: Linking Information Literacy And Practice In A Service Learning-Based Context, Michael Courtney
The Colloquium on Libraries & Service Learning
Service learning can dramatically increase opportunities for librarian and teaching faculty collaboration, broadening the librarian’s role in curriculum design and creating a fluid social contract with students. Such engagement positions the library as a dynamic partner in civic education. This presentation will discuss the collaboration between the Indiana University Libraries and the ACE (Advocates for Community Engagement) Program. The presentation will focus specifically on several innovative approaches used in strengthening information literacy within a service learning context as well as methods for creating and collaborating with campus and community partners in an academic library context.

The Colloquium on Libraries & Service Learning
In an effort to provide faculty at a 4-year, land-grant research institution with resources to research and publish their service-learning pedagogy, Mississippi State Libraries formed a partnership with the Center for the Advancement of Service-Learning Excellence (CASLE). This presentation highlights the methods for beginning a partnership, including ideas like the creation of a service-learning liaison, a LibGuide, developing a service-learning collection, and connecting faculty to service-learning research in their specific fields. Additionally, the presentation includes a guide on forming and sustaining partnerships between academic libraries and service-learning entities.

Community Engagement & Information Literacy: A Case Study, Gretchen Keer, Jeffra Diane Bussmann
The Colloquium on Libraries & Service Learning
This session is a case study describing our exploration of community engagement and information literacy over four quarters in LIBY1210: Introduction to Information Literacy. Our module introduces students to new ways of viewing the production of knowledge by asking them to participate in a community-based participatory action research scenario. Typically, unless librarians can attach instruction activities to existing service learning courses, we are not able to assign such projects. However, if we shift our focus from a service learning/volunteerism paradigm to a broader community engagement model, there are opportunities to expand into a more social justice based approach.

How can instruction librarians best utilize diminishing resources to support expanding information literacy initiatives on their campus? To be successfully implemented on campus, information literacy depends on collaboration between faculty and librarians. Participants will learn about using “train the trainer” methodology to advance and sustain information literacy programs at their home institution. In “train the trainer” workshops, faculty are educated about information literacy through classroom activities, guided discussions, and library resources. This session will present methods for collaborating with faculty in order to empower them to integrate information literacy and library resources into the curricula. Participants will learn about a …

Information Literacy In The New Core Curriculum, Elisa Acosta
LMU Librarian Publications & Presentations
Faculty and librarians at Loyola Marymount University (LMU) are partnering to embed important information literacy skills into the new core curriculum. Beginning fall 2013, every freshman at LMU will spend some mandatory time in their Freshman Seminar course developing basic information literacy skills. The same skills will be reinforced and enhanced in their Rhetorical Arts course the following semester. This will provide the foundation for students to later develop more advanced information literacy skills during a required course that has been “flagged” for information literacy at the upper level. This tiered and systematic approach will allow for a more consistent …
