The Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education articulates the ways of thinking, knowing, and doing valued in the academic community through the definition and description of six threshold concepts. While the articulation of these threshold concepts is beneficial for making these ways of thinking, knowing, and doing transparent, they primarily represent expert ways of engaging with knowledge. Furthermore, the Framework doesn’t provide guidance for how instructors and librarians can help learners, particularly novices, to cross these information literacy conceptual thresholds. How do we scaffold that learning? How do we develop appropriate learning outcomes and activities? How do we assess student learning? In this workshop, we will begin with an overview of epistemological development models and their relationship to information literacy. Then, the Crossing Information Literacy Thresholds model will be presented as a strategy for scaffolding information literacy-related learning that is rooted in both threshold concept theory and epistemological development models.
