Presentation Description

Students, professors, and librarians all play a role in the information literacy (IL) community. However, these roles are difficult to fulfill in separate spaces, through one-sided conversations, or in one-shot library instruction sessions. Instead, we need a continual dialogue among students, professors, and librarians. Our presentation will address potential challenges, strategies, and benefits of an ongoing conversation about IL within a campus community.
