Information literacy has traditionally been addressed through the lens of information scarcity and the need to help our students find, evaluate and cite sources (Head 2013). Today, the overabundance of information, mis- and disinformation, and information systems that reinforce inequalities have raised new challenges for instructors and students that require us to reimagine these methods. Participants in this session will leave with an expanded knowledge of current research on effective approaches to teaching information literacy; ideas for possible collaborations with stakeholders on campus; and strategies for leveraging the expertise of educational developers to promote information literacy among students.
