Webinar: Search Mastery as Critical Information Literacy: What LIS adds to the conversation #critlib

On 12 April 2021 at 12 noon US Eastern time (which is, e.g. 5pm UK time) there is a free webinar as part of the Univerity of Maryland College of Information Studies' Search Mastery Speaker Series: Search Mastery as Critical Information Literacy: What LIS adds to the conversation, given by Dr. Ana Ndumu. "Critical Information Literacy (CIL) provides an orienting lens by which to theorize, teach, and apply search mastery. A response to normative, prescriptive approaches to information-seeking, CIL scrutinizes knowledge production and the information economy. Dr. Ndumu will explain connections between CIL and search mastery, and situate both within the broader Critical Librarianship or #CritLib movement."
