Karen Kaufmann and Clarence Maybee will be hosting two author discussion huddles (Connect Lounge sessions) at the American Library Association (ALA) Conference on Sunday, June 28th.
Huddle #1: How can instructors best enable learners to engage with the history and theory of information literacy? (Sun 6/28, 10 to 10:20 AM)
In this Huddle, we will strategize how we can teach broader ideas surrounding IL within the various institutional contexts in which we work.
Huddle #2: How can academics and library and information science students better collaborate to develop information literacy as an applied discipline? (Sun 6/28, 2 to 2:20 PM)
In this Huddle, we will brainstorm ways current practitioners can connect with students in library and information science programs to work together to envision a future in which the discipline of IL evolves to be responsive to the information needs of future generations.
