Reimagining Info 101: A Tale Of Revisions And New Beginnings, April P. Akins, Casey L. Anthony, Jean Thrift

Realized that video you love showing in class is nearly as old as your students now? We’ve been there. Lander University librarians spent this summer collaborating to redesign INFO 101, our 1-credit information literacy course. The goals were to keep the course fresh, useful, effective, and synchronized across instructors and delivery methods. This initiative included reformatting into an eight-week schedule offered twice per semester, moving to a new textbook, establishing a shared Blackboard sandbox in the university’s recommended online course template, and ditching the final project. Results will be discussed from the Fall 2021 sections taught face-to-face and online.

This poster features lessons learned from my experiences in pandemic-era interviews that may help job seekers and established professionals looking to refresh their toolkit.

This study uses Harvey, Blouin, & Stout’s (2006) Interpersonal Conflict Scale to examine the relationship between duration of employment and the level of interpersonal conflict experienced by South Carolina academic librarians.
