ACRL is hosting a three-part webinar series (registration / payment required) on Thursday, November 2; Thursday, November 9; and Thursday, November 16, 2023, about “Transforming Information Literacy Instruction through the Lens of Our Instructional Identities.”
Librarians across academic institutions grapple with their instructional roles and responsibilities – sometimes alone, or in haphazard ways, or through trial-and-error. Are there better, more effective ways to approach our educational engagement with learners as well as our identities as teachers? This webinar series proposes integrating transformative learning theory – a way to understand how adults learn – and librarians’ concrete experiences into our educational engagement approaches. Based on the three volumes of the recent ACRL publication Instructional Identities and Information Literacy, each webinar will explore how we can meaningfully advance how we think about our instructional work, learning as transformation, and our identities as educators.
Complete details, including information on presenters and learning outcomes, is available on the ACRL website.

Oakland University resides on the ancestral, traditional, and contemporary lands of the Anishinaabe, known as the Three Fires Confederacy, comprising the Ojibwe, Odawa, and Potawatomi. The land was ceded in the 1807 Treaty of Detroit and makes up southeast Michigan.
In recognizing the history and respecting the sovereignty of Michigan’s Indian Nations, Oakland University honors the heritage of Indigenous communities and their significant role in shaping the course of this region.
