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.

    Symposium Website

     

    The symposium highlights recent work on the integration of information literacy into courses using the informed learning model. The founder of informed learning, Dr. Christine Bruce, will give a keynote address. Information literacy researchers, Dr. Drew Whitworth and Lorna Dawes, will give invited talks describing how they have used informed learning in their research and teaching. This event will also showcase the collaborative work of librarians and instructors who codesigned student projects that embed information literacy into disciplinary courses at three research universities in the United States (University of Arizona, University of Nebraska, and Purdue University).

     

    We will use the virtual platform Airmeet for this event. It will feature an interactive socializing area for receptions and coffee breaks. You will also find important information concerning the schedule, speaker, and sessions in Airmeet.
