For-credit IL courses: Do you teach one?

Many academic librarians teach one-shot information literacy (IL) sessions. But how many of us deliver for-credit IL courses?

The ACRL Instruction Section, Information Literacy Best practices Committee, is interested in learning more about IL instruction in Canada and the U.S., particularly about for-credit IL courses.

If you are (or have been) participating in a for-credit IL course at a Canadian university or college, we’d love to hear from you.  We’re interested in learning:

• Is your course a half- or full-credit offering?
• Are you teaching in a variety of disciplines (e.g., arts and social sciences, engineering, science)? If so, which disciplines/areas of study?
• Are you teaching undergraduates, graduate students or both?
• How long have you been teaching a for-credit course (e.g., a year, five years or more?)
• Are you teaching in an online, face-to-face or blended learning environment (all or a combination)?

Please email Martha Attridge Bufton (see contact information below) and let us know more about your teaching.
