Some of the presentations and materials from the 2025 LOEX (US information literacy) conference are available. It was held 15-17 May 2025 and the theme was Crafting a Future for Information Literacy. The presentations are listed alphabetically by title and you can see which ones have links to material. Numerous interesting items, I will just pick out 4 that caught my eye:
- The Lost Art of Skilled Belief: Rebalancing Our Approach to Information Literacy from Kate Wimer (George Fox University, USA) (Presentation, Activity materials, Further reading)
- Assessing the Quality of the Primo AI Research Assistant for Use in Library Instruction and Research Consultations from Crystal Goldman and Dominique Turnbow (UC San Diego, USA) (Presentation)
- Who's Afraid of Little Old AI? Using an AI Literacy Framework to Create an Instruction Session from Sandy Hervieux and Amanda Wheatley (McGill University, Canada) (Presentation, Handout, Template, Activity materials, Further reading)
- Creating a Necklace from a Pile of Beads: Crafting Impactful Library Instruction with Interpretive Communication by Elizabeth C. Bittner (University of Texas at Arlington, USA) (presentation)
