ACRL Information Literacy Framework Feedback Deadline Extended

Published by Iris on Tuesday, April 15th, 2014

In case you haven’t heard (as I hadn’t) the deadline for submitting feedback on the ACRL Draft Framework for Information Literacy in Higher Education (part 1 and part 2) has been extended. Submit feedback (via SurveyMonkey) by Monday, April 21st at 5pm Central Time.

If you would like to crib from (or disagree with) the feedback Carleton and St. Olaf have sent, feel free to do so.

This document will set the tone for our work for the next several years, so it behooves us to make sure it accurately reflects our work and our learning goals for our students. (In other words: GIVE THEM FEEDBACK because we care about this stuff.)

The Journal of Creative Library Practice is accepting papers and manuscripts

Published by Iris on Friday, February 7th, 2014

JCLPThe Journal of Creative Library Practice (JCLP) is accepting papers and manuscripts concerning library instruction.  We know that many librarians employ creative techniques to teach library instruction sessions, so if you have had success implementing a new method or idea, we would love to hear about it.  Below are some other topic ideas.  Did you:

  • Teach elementary school students how to code?
  • Demonstrate how to use a 3D printer?
  • Implement board game concepts into a session?
  • Create a new way to assess learning outcomes?
  • Teach a class using an established technique but with a twist?
  • Have students use a unique piece of software?

JCLP is an open access journal that publishes articles, opinion pieces, and peer-reviewed research upon acceptance. We encourage submissions about creative practices in all kinds of libraries. For more about the journal, see http://creativelibrarypractice.org/.
