Presentation
Enhancing Our Supply Chain: Working with Faculty to Embed IL Threshold Concepts.
LOEX Annual Conference (2020)

Abstract
Collaborating with campus faculty developers and using active learning techniques, two academic librarians facilitated a 3.5 day seminar with the goal of connecting faculty's underlying course content with information literacy threshold concepts across a variety of disciplines. During the seminar, participants discovered concepts common across disciplines that enabled them to highlight core concepts in their own field in their courses. At the end, faculty participants were energized and enthusiastic about their new plans to incorporate information literacy components into both existing lessons and course materials, as well as into new courses, ultimately improving teaching and supporting student learning.
