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 Ohio State 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.
Participation in this webinar counts as attendance toward the Teaching Information Literacy Endorsement (if you are affiliated with Ohio State), or the Teaching Information Literacy Certificate (if you are not affiliated with Ohio State).
