Romel Espinel; Eamon Tewell – Communications in Information Literacy, 2023
Neoliberal capitalism's demands for efficiency and innovation have greatly impacted North American academic libraries and the work conducted in them, including information literacy instruction.

The researchers connected these four modes to information literacy (IL) instruction - but would others? The researchers surveyed…

Becker, Jill K.; Bishop Simmons, Samantha; Fox, Natalie; Back, Andi; Reyes, Betsaida M. – Communications in Information Literacy, 2022
Frequently, information literacy instruction takes the form of a one-shot library session with minimal collaboration between librarians and teaching faculty. To offer an alternative to this model, librarians implemented the Information Literacy Mini-Grant; an incentivized program inviting teaching faculty to collaborate with librarians to redesign…

Smith, Dolsy – Communications in Information Literacy, 2020
This piece situates the project of critique in relation to the idea of library instruction as labor and the library as an organization. If the laborer can come to reflect on the conditions of their labor, thereby achieving a measure of autonomy even at the grindstone, it's also possible that the critical subject can be induced or coerced to labor…
