As developments in teaching and learning offer new opportunities for integrative information literacy in curricula and the student experience, libraries are poised to respond with a full-range of useful information tools and resources, robust services, and welcoming and enriching space/place environments. Drawing on the ACRL Value of Academic Libraries Initiative, this keynote session will highlight strategies for integrating information literacy in content-specific and general education curricula, engaging pedagogies, creative collaboration, space design and development.
