Registration is open for the
ALI (Academic Libraries of Indiana) Information Literacy Committee's free online conference on 14 July 2021, 10.00 to 13.10 US Eastern time (which is, for example, 15.00-18.10 UK time)
Lessons Learned and Successes from Delivering Information Literacy Instruction Online . The conference has a keynote from
Lisa Janicke Hinchliffe and "twenty poster presentations that provide practical, forward-looking perspectives on information literacy instruction that attendees can implement in their work beyond the pandemic."
Registration is here and there will be more information at
https://academiclibrariesofindiana.org/info-lit. The abstract for the keynote is "The "pandemic pivot" stress tested every aspect of our lives, personal and professional, and our information literacy programs are no exception. Teaching librarians adopted new pedagogical practices, made programmatic changes, and responded to a dynamic information environment, in order to support student learning and success as best as they could in very difficult circumstances. In many cases there was little time to plan and there has been almost no time for reflection. We are stressed and tired. We may not realize just how much we achieved in light of the challenges we faced. As we look to the summer break and prepare for fall, the frameworks of reflective practice and appreciative inquiry offer us a way to make sense of our experiences, to recognize our collective trauma, and to celebrate our successes."
