Save the Date: CRD Spring Workshop

Date: Friday, May 20th

Theme: Critical Pedagogy and Information Literacy Instruction

Location: Marywood University, Scranton, Pa

Description: With the introduction of the new ACRL framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education, librarians are now looking for ways to explore “interconnecting core concepts” in instruction rather than only focusing on developing a skill set. As we investigate these opportunities, one of the paths that has been identified to achieve this goal is critical pedagogy for information literacy instruction.

The 2016 CRD workshop will showcase keynote speaker Andrea Baer from University of West Georgia and Emily Drabinski from Long Island University and breakout sessions from PA libraries who have worked with this concept in developing information literacy instruction. Please look for a Call for Proposals next week.
