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.

    Dear colleagues,

    The ALA Library Instruction Roundtable Top 20 Committee is pleased to share the 2023 Top 20 List of instruction articles.  The Top 20 Committee has been reviewing and selecting the best literature about library instruction since 1986. 

    As part of the celebration of this year's list, we are organizing a panel featuring authors from three of our top articles to share more about the research and outcomes of their work.  Please register to join us for a discussion on June 20, 2024 (10am -11am EST), with authors of the following three articles:

    ·         Bluemle, S. (2023). A close look at the concept of authority in information literacy. Journal of New Librarianship, 8(2), Article 2. https://doi.org/10.33011/newlibs/14/1

    ·         Littletree, S., Andrews, N., & Loyer, J. (2023). Information as a relation: Defining Indigenous information literacy. Journal of Information Literacy, 17(2), 4–23. https://doi.org/10.11645/17.2.8

    ·         White, A. (2023). Let 'No' be 'No': When librarians say 'no' to instruction opportunities. In the Library with the Lead Pipe. https://www.inthelibrarywiththeleadpipe.org/2023/let-no-be-no/

    The authors will share more about the inspiration for their research and how their work has impacted their own practice since publication.

    Join me in congratulating all the authors of the LIRT Top 20 List for 2023!  We look forward to seeing you on June 20, 2024.  Please register at the following link: https://forms.gle/2dE6QCGHPG4K48Fq8
