Short Description

In this presentation, a librarian and writing professor will explore how the unique challenges inherent in infographics empower librarians and instructors with collaborative, pedagogical opportunities to teach information literacy skills. We’ll share our experiences of how using infographics allow us to execute and contextualize information literacy skills by rooting them in course content, thus making a lasting impact on students.
