    All are invited to attend this free webinar, being hosted by The Ohio State University Libraries. 

    Rethinking Roles: Faculty Development as an Approach to Teaching Information Literacy

    June 25, 2026
    12:00-1:00 (Eastern)
    To register: https://go.osu.edu/rethinkingrolesummer26

    Both course instructors and librarians have a stake in supporting students to develop the understandings, skills, and dispositions necessary to effectively complete research assignments. But who has the primary responsibility for teaching information literacy? And how can instructors and librarians most effectively collaborate to help students learn effective research practices and habits? This workshop will outline the "faculty-focused" or "teach the teachers" approach to information literacy instruction, in which librarians focus on teaching course instructors to ingrate information literacy into their teaching practices. Participants should leave for with ideas for how faculty development can support the integration of information literacy into the curriculum.

    Participation in this webinar counts as attendance toward the Teaching Information Literacy Endorsement (if you are affiliated with Ohio State), or the Teaching Information Literacy Certificate (if you are not affiliated with Ohio State).
