WHOSE JOB IS IT TO TEACH STUDENTS INFORMATION LITERACY?
3
Librarians are experts in information retrieval, new technologies, and electronic information resources Faculty provide disciplinary context for the information literacy instruction, motivate students to learn (including grades), and assess lasting impact of information literacy instruction outside of the library LIBRARIANS AND FACULTY WORK TOGETHER
4
WHAT ARE THE BARRIERS?
5
Faculty might not know what information literacy means or why it’s important Faculty might think students already have information literacy skills Faculty might not make time to integrate information literacy into their courses Faculty might perceive librarians as “support staff” rather than a teaching partner BARRIERS: IMPLEMENTING INFORMATION LITERACY
6
Brown bag lunch discussions Faculty focus groups Librarian-faculty grants Faculty governance Faculty workshops Program review/accreditation Train the Trainer WAYS TO COLLABORATE
7
“Teach the teacher” approach in which librarians train faculty to teach information literacy in their courses Faculty, rather than students, become the target of information literacy Faculty are educated through classroom activities, ideas, materials, and techniques WHAT IS TRAIN THE TRAINER?
8
Time constraints Inadequate staffing of librarians, sustainability Course integrated Avoid scattershot approach; make systematic WHY TRAIN THE TRAINER?

1. Understand the definition, basic concepts, and importance of information literacy in order to incorporate information literacy into your assignments 2. Understand information literacy in the context of the new core curriculum at LMU in order to embed information literacy into your new core courses 3. Experience an information literacy assignment from the student perspective in order to improve and adapt the assignment for your own course 4. Develop an increased awareness of LMU library resources in order to use them in future months SAMPLE LEARNING OUTCOMES

ACTIVITY IDEAS: INFORMATION LITERACY OVERVIEW

INFORMATION LITERACY DEFINITIONS “Information literacy is a set of abilities requiring individuals to recognize when information is needed and have the ability to locate, evaluate, and use effectively the needed information” (ACRL) “Information literacy empowers people in all walks of life to seek, evaluate, use, and create information effectively to achieve their personal, social, occupational and educational goals” (UNESCO) Image courtesy of Beloit College Library http://www.beloit.edu/library/infolit/http://www.beloit.edu/library/infolit/

“If we can't find the information we need for the topic we are truly interested in, we'll just switch to a new topic of less interest but requiring less work…” “The blame for our lack of research skills does not lie solely in our lack of zeal…. this problem stems from the lack of training in good research habits” – Kim Tran, Opinion Editor, Loyolan “Feeling Lucky Doesn’t Always Work Out So Well” in 10/6/11 issueFeeling Lucky Doesn’t Always Work Out So Well

HOW DO YOU DESIGN A GOOD INFORMATION LITERACY ASSIGNMENT?
32
“Best practice” rubrics or checklists for evaluating assignments “Assignment Pitfalls” Assignment Database Carry out assignment “from student perspective” and then modify Explore a library database and think about how your students could use it in an assignment Use a tutorial evaluation checklist to explore and evaluate an information literacy tutorial. Think about if/how you might want to modify it and adapt for your course ACTIVITY IDEAS: INFORMATION LITERACY ASSIGNMENT DESIGN

CURRICULUM MAPPING
41
A procedure for reviewing the curriculum Program specification that represents “a deliberate process of curriculum deconstruction in order to understand better how the sum of the parts relates to the whole” (Jackson, 2000) WHAT IS CURRICULUM MAPPING?
42
Get to know curriculum for each Major or program of study What’s the place of information literacy in the curriculum as a whole? Where is it most strategic to embed information literacy so more students benefit? Work with faculty to avoid duplication and gaps in information literacy instruction WHY DO CURRICULUM MAPPING?
43
List the required “core” courses within a Major/ program of study as well as electives Copy course descriptions Obtain copies of course syllabi Pick out existing or potential learning outcomes related to information literacy Map out how the information literacy is being assessed HOW DO I DO IT?

EXAMPLE
46
HOW DO I INCORPORATE A SPECIFIC INFORMATION LITERACY LEARNING OUTCOME?
47
Worksheets to guide in development of assignment creation for a specific learning outcome Guest faculty speakers talking about “best evidence” of student work for a specific learning outcome Discussion between faculty and librarians about what “good practice” looks like for a specific learning outcome- then designing an assignment and rubric together Overview of key library resources that can be used in assignments ACTIVITIES FOR INCORPORATING A SPECIFIC INFO LIT OUTCOME
