Teaching Guide: Beyond the Search Bar Infographic (English)

In your teaching practice, have you noticed that some students perceive library resources as interchangeable web pages, without recognizing their distinct purposes? This guide invites librarians to present library tools and services as an interconnected ecosystem rather than isolated websites. To support that conversation, it accompanies the infographic Beyond the Search Bar: The TV Guide to Library Research, which maps these resources onto the familiar world of smart TVs

What's Included:

1. Background and rationale for presenting library resources as an ecosystem through smart TV analogies, grounded in the ACRL Framework's Searching as Strategic Exploration frame.
2. Suggested language and teaching tips for introducing six library resources, each paired with a smart TV analogy.
3. Theoretical framework drawing on the ACRL Framework for Information Literacy and Universal Design for Learning (UDL) 3.0.
4. Guidance for adapting the infographic to your audience and institution (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0) [Tutorial coming soon!]
