Gross, Brooke – Journal of Electronic Resources Librarianship, 2023
The library one-shot is common in academic libraries, though not universally loved by academic librarians.

Kirsten Hostetler – ProQuest LLC, 2020
Academic librarians have long been responsible for teaching information literacy competencies on college campuses, even as many are hesitant to accept the title of teacher.

The ACRL Framework for Information Literacy in Higher Education generated a large amount of discourse during its development and adoption.

Saunders, Laura – Communications in Information Literacy, 2017

Indeed, the…

Twomey, Beth – Journal of Library & Information Services In Distance Learning, 2015
Distance librarians continually develop information literacy instruction in a variety of formats. Assessment, when it occurs, tends to be of the traditional multiple-choice variety and does not measure more complex skills. Authentic assessments offer the instruction librarian a way to re-think their instruction strategies and assessment of student…

In both cases, it usually takes…

The society relies on institutions of higher education to produce a literate workforce; one that is able to function in a dynamic, technological, information-overload environment.
