In this 3-part workshop, three critical dimensions of information literacy will be explored conceptually and practically. First, Jason Ezell, Instruction and Research Coordinator at the Monroe Library of Loyola University, will discuss how a needs assessment he conducted with his teams at the University of South Alabama and at Loyola University to characterize what first-year students do and don’t know. He then connects needs assessment with the formation of an information literacy program plan. Mr. Ezell will be followed by Emily Deal, Head of Distance Learning & Online Services, and Jennifer Hamilton, Head of Instructional Services, of the University of Louisiana-Lafayette and Ellen Jenkins, Government Documents & Reference Librarian, of the State Library will discuss practical applications relevant to one-shot bibliographic instruction sessions and online library orientations. Finally, Gera Bridgewater, Shanna Clevenger, Caitlin Cooper, Janine Smith, and Courtney Stortz, librarian-instructors of Delgado Community College, will present on the assessment of information literacy and instruction, discussing how best to assess and evaluate the effectiveness of information literacy programs and sessions.
Presenter(s): Gera Bridgewater (Delgado), Shanna Clevenger (Delgado), Caitlin Cooper (Delgado), Emily Deal (ULL), Jason Ezell (Loyola), Jennifer Hamilton (ULL), Ellen Jenkins (State Library), Janine Smith (Delgado), and Courtney Stortz (Delgado)
