The ACRL Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education – with its emphasis on self-reflective, lifelong learning and conceptual understandings of information, research, and scholarship – has prompted many librarians to consider their teaching practices from fresh angles, as they explore their evolving instructional roles within and beyond the library classroom. The Framework’s vision of information literacy education as a shared responsibility of all educators suggests both opportunities and challenges for teaching librarians, as we expand pedagogical approaches and partnerships. This online workshop supports librarians seeking to engage more deeply with the Framework and explore ways it may help to enrich their individual teaching practices, as well as their local instruction programs and institutions.

Participants will reflect on how their prior knowledge of and attitudes towards information literacy instruction can influence their understanding of, approaches to, or attitudes towards the Framework. Participants will consider how perceptions of and experiences with teaching and learning can be both opportunities and barriers.

Throughout this online workshop, participants will explore concepts and pedagogical approaches outlined in the Framework and their significance to their own instructional work. Attendees will apply their learning and reflection by creating instruction plans with the Framework as a guide.
