A Compassionate Approach to IL Instruction: What We Can Learn from the COVID-19 Pandemic

I realise that I missed advertising an ACRL webinar today which was on Incorporating Compassionate Teaching Strategies into Information Literacy Instruction (sorry! - watch out to see if it appears in the ACRL Youtube channel). However, I had at least noted an article by the presenter on the same topic, so here it is:
White, E.B. (2022). A Compassionate Approach to IL Instruction: What We Can Learn from the COVID-19 Pandemic. portal: Libraries and the Academy, 22(1), 151-175. http://doi.org/10.1353/pla.2022.0004
"This article explores the pedagogy of teaching during a pandemic, with an emphasis on compassionate teaching. It identifies the educational barriers that college students faced with the rapid shift to online learning and considers how their experiences might provide insights for librarians. The recommendations for library practice include selecting a small number of essential learning outcomes for each instruction session, supplementing in-person or synchronous online sessions with asynchronous materials, and establishing a sense of community within the classroom. In addition to these suggestions, the author shares a narrative of her experiences incorporating compassionate pedagogy into online library instruction."
