Train the Trainer: Ideas & Tips to Help Faculty Teach Information Literacy

The CARLI Instruction Committee's theme for this year is "We Can't Do It Alone: Joining Forces For Sustainable Partnerships." Through a series of online events, the committee will offer opportunities to learn how to extend information literacy programs in ways that are scalable and sustainable.

Our next online session is on equipping faculty with the skills that they need to teach information literacy.

Description:
Do you wish that the faculty on your campus had a better understanding about how to integrate information literacy into their instruction? The ACRL Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education encourages librarians and faculty to work together to design course content and assignments that can help students build information literacy skills and knowledge. This webinar will share strategies for collaborating and equipping faculty with tools and information they need to design more effective course content and assignments. You will learn how to “talk” the language of faculty and take advantage of professional development opportunities on your campus.  This webinar will empower you to experiment with new ways to collaborate and reach faculty on your campus. The presenter will share successes, failures, and lessons learned from her experiences working with faculty.
