Adventures in Librarianship

The session will include the constructive investigation of information literacy in general and in the disciplines through a variety of activities.  Participants will (1) increase their understanding of information literacy, (2) learn how to better incorporate information literacy into one or more courses and (3) be prepared to act as advocates for information literacy in their courses and across campus.  The presenters will embed a variety of active learning activities and provide practical guidance to support disciplinary faculty in integrating information literacy into their programs.
