Academic Librarians' Educational Role Revisited: Three Defining Studies

Abstract

Three national studies are redefining the role academic librarians will play on campus. First, participants will receive an overview of significant findings from Project Information Literacy: “Learning the Ropes: How Freshmen Conduct Course Research Once They Enter College”; “Ithaka S & R US Library Survey 2013; and “ACRL Information to Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education.” Then participants will share how they are addressing these information literacy challenges and arriving at sustainable solutions.
