The April 2024 issue of open access journal College & Research Libraries (vol. 85 issue 3) includes the following. The first two are interesting contributions to the "who should teach information literacy in Higher Education" debate:
- Academic Librarians as Teachers and Faculty Developers: Exploring the Potential of the “Teach the Teachers” Model of Information Literacy by Jane Hammons "This essay explores the potential of the faculty-focused approach to information literacy through a critical analysis of the literature on librarians’ experiences as teachers and faculty developers."
- Academic Librarians’ Contribution to Information Literacy Instruction and Learning by Kimberly Mullins, Mary Kate Boyd-Byrnes "Using data from a learning module embedded in all first-year seminars, researchers found evidence suggesting that librarians are uniquely qualified to deliver information literacy instruction compared to campus faculty. ... The data indicate that students met the learning objectives more often in modules taught by librarians.
- From “Outside the Box” to “Out the Window”: Teaching with Primary Sources through the Pandemic by Paula S. Kiser, Christina Larson, Kevin M. O’Sullivan, Anne Peale
