The Innovative Library Classroom (TILC) 2024
Pre-conference Workshop, Poster Session, & Social on Thursday, June 6 and Conference on Friday, June 7, 2024
William & Mary, Williamsburg VA
We are now accepting proposals for TILC 2024: FINITE MEANS. INFINITE USES.
It's TILC's 10th anniversary! Gifts for this observation are "aluminum" or "tin", which got us thinking about recycling, reusing, and repurposing, and how this relates to library instruction and teaching. Playing with Noam Chomsky's observation that language makes infinite use of finite means, we ask, "How do librarians create or generate new experiences and interventions from ones that already exist?"Possible topics could be:
- Reusing or repurposing exercises, activities, or lesson plans
- Reconsidering approaches for classes
- The role of generative AI in information literacy
- Adapting ideas and practices from other disciplines to library instruction
We hope this theme will help you brainstorm ideas, but we will welcome any proposals related to innovative practices related to teaching and learning in libraries. Our conference attendees especially appreciate stories of practical application.Proposals are invited for four different session types
- 2-hour pre-conference workshop (presented Thursday afternoon before the poster session)
- Posters (presented at the Thursday evening social)
- 50-minute presentations
- 5 to 7 minute lightning talks
We look forward to seeing your proposals!
