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.

Updates to the ACRL Framework for Information Literacy Sandbox Website - March 31

  • 1.  Updates to the ACRL Framework for Information Literacy Sandbox Website - March 31

    Posted Mar 17, 2025 09:54 AM

    Are you interested in sharing your teaching materials with the wider library community? Want to find new resources to refresh your teaching practice? The ACRL Framework for Information Literacy Sandbox is a great tool for finding and sharing innovative instructional materials. 

    To improve the usability of the website, the Framework for Information Literacy Sandbox (FILS) Committee will be making updates to our tag list around March 31, 2025. We recently completed a project to identify the most useful tags and consolidate the tag list. Additionally, in response to the diversity assessment project we conducted last year, we've added a DEIA tag to categorize resources that engage with diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility. New and existing contributors can use the DEIA tag for topics such as instruction for marginalized student groups, accessibility of instructional materials, or finding and using sources that represent non-mainstream perspectives. Details about editing tags in existing resources will be available on the Sandbox website.

    If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to the Sandbox Committee at acrlsandbox@gmail.com
