Webinar: Flip the deficit script! How to build strengths-based information literacy instruction and programs

On March 26 2020 at 1.30 US Eastern time (which is 5.30pm UK time) there is a free webinar Flip the deficit script! How to build strengths-based information literacy instruction and programs. "We have an exciting group of scholar-librarians addressing this question: What if we made students' life-research experiences the focus of curriculum design for information literacy? Panelists: Liz Kocevar-Weidinger, Head of Research & Instruction Services at Virginia Military Institute. Mark Lenker, Teaching and Learning Librarian at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Tatiana Pashkova-Balkenhol, Undergraduate Research and Instruction Librarian at Millersville University, PA. Emily Cox, Collections and Research Librarian for Humanities, Social Sciences, and Digital Media at NC State University. The panel will discuss strengths-based strategies they’ve developed and integrated into their learning environments. They’ll also present their findings about teaching research skills to students and the connections between students’ real world information-seeking experiences and academic research.
