Librarian Instruction Professional Development

1. What are the information skills / dispositions needed by student scholars in your disciplines?

Instructions: Consult the InfoLit in the Disciplines guide to aid your brainstorming and/or other disciplinary resources to help answer the question. 

2. What are the information skills / dispositions  needed by student practitioners?

Instructions: Again, consult the InfoLit in the Disciplines guide and other resources that would give you insights into the needs of practitioners in the (broader) disciplines.

3. What kinds of information do scholars and practitioners engage with?

Instructions:  Your answer here is more focused on the actual types of information sources. For example, a Global Studies major may interact with GIS datasets, digital/print maps, international news,  intergovernmental reports, and so on.

4. What are the learning outcomes you support in CTW? In AW?

Instructions: Use Bloom’s revised taxonomy and structure your answers like “Students will be able to…”

5. Which IL frames map onto these skills and dispositions?

Instructions: Consult the ACRL Framework for Information Literacy. Be attentive to both skills and dispositions.

6.  How does or might social justice intersect with those information skills? 

Instructions: Recommend reading Saunders, Laura. “Connecting Information Literacy and Social Justice: Why and How.” Communications in Information Literacy.
