April 28, 2017: ARLD Day, Minnesota Arboretum

April 28, 2017, 11:00 a.m., “A Curious Skeptic’s Guide to the ACRL Information Literacy Framework,” presented by Amy Mars, Research and Instruction Librarian, St. Catherine University, and others.

Description: This critical discussion is for the skeptic, the optimist, the social justice advocate, and those who are just plain curious about the ACRL Information Literacy Framework for Higher Education. Current and former Instruction Roundtable (IRT) Co-chairs will facilitate a discussion about the Framework centering around questions like:

–How does the Framework differ from the Standards?
–What challenges and opportunities does the Framework present for academic librarians?
–Can the Framework be used as a tool for social justice? In what ways does it fall short?

In this interactive session, participants will be invited to share their perspectives and experience with the Framework. We will end the discussion with an invitation to participate in a 23 Things: ACRL IL Framework Edition that IRT is developing and will launch at ARLD Day.

April 28, 2017, 3:10 p.m., “Lightning Round: Creating a Central Service Desk: Renovating Spaces,” presented by Amy Sheehan, Associate University Librarian, Hamline University Library and Archives.

Description: How can a consortium of small libraries with modest budgets maintain our commitment to shared resources in an eBook environment? We’ll share the frameworks we’ve developed jointly for selecting consortial eBook packages, present findings from our first year of joint purchases, and highlight how data informed our decisions going forward. Finally, we’ll explore how a framework for consortial eBook acquisition and evaluation informs cooperative collection development as well as strategic planning at individual member libraries.
