On 16-18 September 2024 there is an in-person conference at the University of Kentuky, USA: Telling Library Stories. This is part of the Library Research Seminar series.
"We will focus on how to use statistics to tell compelling stories, how research stories reflect library practice, how library stories impact research and development and how libraries can tell stories to advocate for themselves and their communities."
This has a lot of interesting sessions relevant to information literacy, including (all from the USA):
- The panel Information Literacy: A New Discipline (Karen Kaufmann, University of South Florida; Clarence Maybee, Purdue University; John M. Budd, University of Missouri)
- The panel Value, Shmalue: Measuring Meaning through True Tales of Teaching (Natalia Kapacinskas, University of Houston Libraries; Erica Lopez, University of Houston Libraries; Mea Warren, University of Houston Libraries; Veronica Arellano Douglas, University of Houston Libraries)
- An introduction to infophilia, a positive psychology of information (Anita S. Coleman, School of Information Sciences, University of Illinois Urbana Champaign)
- The workshop Hackathon X Olio: Co-creating a collective of library stories for teaching and learning (Rebecca Morris, Chair, University of Pittsburgh)
- So, What Exactly Do You Do? Using Statistics to Tell Your Story as a Subject Librarian (Doug Campbell, University of North Texas)
- Unheard Stories: The Experiences, Needs, and Hopes of Hard of Hearing Librarians (Lee Ann Fullington, Brooklyn College, CUNY; Jill Cirasella , CUNY Graduate Center)
