Webinar: Best Practices in Information Literacy: A Look at First-Year Instruction

On 28 April at 2pm US EST time (which is, e.g., 7pm UK time) the ACRL-IS Information Literacy Best Practices Committee and FYE Discussion Group have organised a webinar: Best Practices in Information Literacy: A Look at First-Year Instruction. "Hear from librarians at a variety of institutions who have incorporated the Characteristics of Information Literacy that Illustrate Best Practices Guidelines into their first-year information literacy programs. This document, revised in 2019, articulates elements of exemplary information literacy programs for undergraduate students at two and four-year institutions. The characteristics include seven categories: Mission, Goals, and Objectives; Planning; Administrative and Institutional Support; Program Sequencing; Pedagogy; Communication and Advocacy; and Assessment and Evaluation. Presenters will share concrete and practical examples of how to incorporate the Characteristics guidelines into an existing first-year information literacy program. Participants will become familiar with the Characteristics document and come away with fresh ideas to invigorate information literacy programming at their institutions."
