MiALA 2026 Annual Conference

This panel will present the perspectives of four librarians developing different types of credit-bearing information literacy instruction for a variety of disciplines, as well as their department head providing an administrative perspective. Each librarian will describe the origin of their project, how it has evolved, and their personalized approach to developing credit-bearing instruction to support the faculty and students in various departments.

Learning Objective(s): 1) Participants will be able to describe several approaches to developing credit-bearing courses and identify opportunities in their teaching/libraries for similar projects; 2) Participants will be able to assess if these approaches are feasible in their libraries; and 3) Participants will be able to devise their own approaches to move toward designing and advocating for teaching information literacy in credit-bearing courses.
