Best Practices in Information Literacy

For the past several years, workshop leaders Susan Ariew and Ilene
Frank, librarians at University of South Florida's Tampa Library, have
been presenters for ACRL's Institute for Information Literacy's Best
Practices. They have conducted workshops on developing, assessing, and
improving information literacy programs in undergraduate education; and
identifying categories and case studies of best practices in
undergraduate information literacy programs.

This TBLC workshop will introduce a variety of related resources and
ACRL Best Practices, discuss current trends and challenges connected
with information literacy, identify key elements of model programs,
invite feedback and discussion, and engage participants in activities to
help them reflect on their own teaching practices, as well as advance
the work of their own Information Literacy Programs.

Participants will reflect, discuss, plan, and begin to apply what
they've learned to their programs at their own institutions. They will:

*	Discuss and identify ways librarians can transform bibliographic
instruction into Information Literacy 
*	Define the teaching library and contrast it with the traditional
library. 
*	Identify the challenges of teaching information literacy through
one-shot library instruction sessions. 
*	Pose solutions to some of the challenges related to teaching
information literacy in library settings. 
*	Identify new roles for librarians (blended and embedded
librarians) 
*	Outline the debate about the effectiveness of one-shot
instruction sessions versus credit information literacy classes. 
*	Define networking, cooperation, and collaboration as it pertains
to information literacy/library instruction and identify ways teaching
librarians can move from cooperation to collaboration. 
*	Understand the characteristics of IL programs that illustrate
best practices and then ask participants to reflect on their own
successes and where they may be able to start improving their programs. 
*	Offer a self-assessment tool based on ACRL best practices to
improve an IL program at your own institution.
