Covering necessary information literacy topics in a traditional "one shot" session can be difficult. To address this challenge, a suite of interactive online modules were developed to provide active learning lessons on various information literacy topics. The modules can be used in fully online, flipped or face-to-face courses and can be integrated into a learning management system (LMS) so student knowledge and progress can be tracked and assessed. Developed using Articulate Storyline, the sources files are available as open source downloads under a GNU General Public License (GPLv3) from...

Students often feel like outsiders in their courses. Their professors speak a different "language" and have different values. If scholarship is a "Conversation," students need to grasp what forces and cultures drive scholars within a discipline to converse the way they do. This slide presentation lays out the main features of disciplinary culture, the basis of all conversations. If students can learn to "read" disciplines effectively, they will be better able to grasp the nature of conversations as they do their research.

Research Services librarians at Bucknell University collaborated on a project to make the research concepts the Framework represents more accessible to students. This is an open educational resource in the form of digital and physical customizable posters.The research guide includes a repository for capturing ideas and suggestions for reusing, remixing, and re-conceptualizing the posters. This project opens pathways for librarians, instructional technologists, and faculty to communicate and collaborate on student-centered information literacy instruction.

Information Literacy Frame(s) Addressed: Framework as a Whole
This is a guest post at ACRLog.org, published on January 27, 2015, in which I reflect on the relationship between the Framework and assessment of student learning in and through our information literacy programs, as well as how this relates to the eventual rescission of the Information Literacy Competency Standards (formally rescinded a year and a half later on June 25, 2016). Note that the timing of the post was about a week before the ACRL Board of Directors moved to 'file' the Framework (on February 2, 2015); a year later the Framework was formally adopted by the ACRL Board on January 11,...
