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.

    Information Literacy instruction: Creating inclusive and engaging communities of learning for all students
    Leslie Ross (she/they)
    Assistant Professor, Instruction Coordinator at New Mexico State University Library

    There are students with disabilities who qualify for accommodation in the IL classroom, but often the accommodations don't go far enough. There are also students who do not have diagnosed disabilities and are very much in need of specific accommodations for things like situational anxiety, homesickness, or emergent substance use disorders that impact their abilities to learn and hand work in on time. We will discuss using asset-based teaching practices and universal design in IL instruction to create inclusive and engaging communities of learning for all students.

    This session will be recorded.

    I work a mixed remote and on-campus schedule. Students wanting to meet with me may schedule a research consultation. Waiting for my response? See if our Library Q&As, research guides, or tutorials have an answer to your question, or email the librarians at askthelibrarian@northampton.edu.
