Presenter: Jane Hammons, Teaching & Learning Engagement Librarian, University Libraries

What is information literacy? Why is information literacy important for students? In this workshop, participants will learn about several definitions of information literacy and develop an understanding of the key concepts, skills, and dispositions associated with information literacy. In addition, participants will learn why explicit information literacy instruction is crucial to students’ academic and professional success and consider what their role in supporting students’ information literacy development might be.

This workshop is being offered by the University Libraries Teaching & Learning Department and is open to all faculty, staff, librarians, and graduate students at Ohio State. Instructors and librarians from other institutions are also welcome to attend.

For those affiliated with Ohio State, this session counts toward completion of the Teaching Information Literacy Endorsement, from the Drake Institute for Teaching and Learning. For those not affiliated with Ohio State, this session counts toward completion of the Teaching Information Literacy Certificate from the University Libraries Teaching & Learning Department.
