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.

    Hello LIRT,

    I am throwing my hat into the ring for Member-At-Large for the (edit) 3-year term at LRRT. I submitted my form but I'd like to see who else is considering a leadership position. (edit) I have switched to the 3-year term.

    I am new to being able to afford ALA membership, but I've been in library science as a paraprofessional since 1996, and just got my MLIS in 2022. At San Juan College in Farmington, New Mexico, I am a part of multiple initiatives to include indigenous perspectives in open educational resources creation and curation. I am also training faculty on the use of AI tools for lesson planning, fact checking, and outlining.

    Anyone who is attending LibLearnX in Baltimore, I'm presenting on using Narrative Learning Theory (essentially "learning through storytelling") to bridge our library materials with educational resources. I'd love to have anyone there who is interested in open educational resource creation!
