The mission of the Library Instruction Round Table (LIRT) is to provide a forum for discussion of activities, programs, and problems of instruction in the use of libraries; to contribute to the education and training of librarians for library instruction; to promote instruction in the use of libraries as an essential library service, and to serve as a channel of communication on library instruction between the ALA divisions, ALA and ACRL committees, state clearinghouses, Project LOEX, other organizations concerned with instruction in the use of libraries, and members of the Association.

Learn more about LIRT on the ALA website.

When:  Jun 24, 2017 from 01:00 PM to 02:30 PM (CT)

As librarianship and library instruction continue to evolve across educational settings, library curricular embeddedness is quickly becoming the norm. This presentation will focus on the new fundamentals of library instruction and the growth of liaison responsibilities in various library settings. Discover how to teach information literacy and subject-specific learning skills to an array of patron groups, and learn how librarians can shape and enhance learning goals beyond library walls. As always, the LIRT Conference Program seeks to have a lively presentation by speakers that will share experiences to inform learning in all types of libraries. We hope to see you there.
