    "Teach Yourself! Information Literacy History, Theory, and Techniques"

     Wednesday, December 10, 2025, 11 am - 12 noon Pacific

    This session will focus on reviewing the shared 2019 UCLA graduate Information Literacy Instruction (ILI) course materials in order to understand their overall structure, purpose, and pedagogical approach, as a means of helping you improve your own teaching and learning. (See url below.)

    During this session, attendees will learn how to use these 2019 UCLA iSchool graduate information literacy (IL) course materials to review or learn about definitions of IL and the history of IL. Attendees will also learn how they can use these materials themselves to improve  planning, developing, designing, and evaluating ILI. In addition, attendees will learn about and  brainstorm ideas for updating these materials for their own current and future instruction.

    You can find the materials, including an introductory document describing them, most     of which have CC: BY-NC-SA licenses:

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

    Hope to see everyone there!
