What is information literacy? Why is information literacy important for students? In this workshop, participants will learn about several definitions of information literacy and develop an understanding of the key concepts, skills, and dispositions associated with information literacy. In addition, participants will learn why explicit information literacy instruction is crucial to students’ academic and professional success and consider what their role in supporting students’ information literacy development might be. This workshop is intended for course instructors, graduate teaching associates, instructional support staff, and librarians at Ohio State. Participants from other institutions are also welcome to attend. The workshop will be followed by a second workshop, Teaching Information Literacy: Strategies and Resources. Participants are encouraged to attend both workshops.
