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.

    This proposal will cover how librarians adapted their information literacy instruction strategies to meet digital literacy learning needs, and the strategies the program organizers follow to keep the content relevant and up to date.

    Digital literacy and information literacy have increasingly become 2 sides of the same coin in academic libraries; students struggle with basic digital technology skills almost as much as they do with basic research skills. In response to this, Penn State University Libraries developed the Tech Academy in 2020 to help provide a basic introduction to the technology and digital tools available to all Penn State students. This proposal will cover how librarians adapted their information literacy instruction strategies to meet digital literacy learning needs, and the strategies the program organizers follow to keep the content relevant and up to date.

    A recording will also be available on the LILi Show & Tell webpage after the session.

    We look forward to seeing you all! 

    Respectfully,
    Kathy Dejnowski
    LILi Web Committee Chair
