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.

    As Generative AI continues to reshape higher education, Information Literacy (IL) remains one of our strongest foundations for teaching AI literacy. This session explores how to ground AI instruction in familiar frameworks by mapping GenAI onto established IL concepts. Participants will learn how AI introduces new modalities and workflows,  highlighting how librarians are already equipped to lead this technological shift. Crucially, the presentation incorporates the latest Information Literacy Framework draft to address the unique ethical and practical challenges posed by algorithms and GenAI tools.

    Presenter: Allison Schultz, Senior Instructional Designer, Michael V. Drake Institute for Teaching and Learning, The Ohio State University
