Engaging with the ACRL Framework

Engaging with the ACRL Framework: A Catalyst for Exploring and Expanding Our Teaching Practices.
Presented by The Association of College & Research Libraries.

The ACRL Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education –
with its emphasis on self-reflective and lifelong learning and on conceptual understandings about information, research, and scholarship and encouraging - has prompted many librarians to consider their teaching practices from fresh angles, as they explore their evolving instructional roles within and beyond the library classroom. The Framework’s vision of information literacy education as a shared responsibility of all educators suggests both opportunities and challenges for teaching librarians, as we expand pedagogical approaches and partnerships. This workshop supports librarians in engaging more deeply with the Framework and exploring ways that it may help to enrich their individual teaching practices, as well as their local instruction programs and institutions.
