Game Of Thrones

As a librarian whose primary passion and daily job duties center on information literacy instruction, I find myself constantly searching for new techniques and resources to engage my students. To combat the dreaded vacant expressions and deafening silence brought to required library sessions by uninterested students, I do my research and plan, plan, plan. I talk about Beyoncé and Game of Thrones and Donald Trump. I wrap critical discussions in goofy jokes and friendly smiles, and I fervently hope that students leave my classroom with enjoyable memories and a smattering of knowledge about the power of information literacy. To convey this knowledge, I strive to use the most thought-provoking, discussion-based activities possible, and I am delighted to announce that Pagowsky and McElroy’s Critical Library Pedagogy Handbook(s) (2016) provide exactly the type of high-quality, thoughtful, progressive resources that every instruction librarian needs.

Multiple Partners

From 2013–2016, over 200 campuses participated in ACRL’s Assessment in Action (AiA) program. Shaping the Campus Conversation is a compilation of AiA resources, including reports, reflections, and published articles. For individuals at academic institutions who are (or beginning to be) immersed in assessment efforts, this could be a valuable resource. This includes assessment leaders outside the library, as all of the AiA participants were required to have multiple partners on campus. In addition, most of the projects concerned information literacy instruction, so they could apply in a broader university environment.
