Please explore this small sample of presentations, documents, and other materials that highlight my skill, interests, and creativity.
Embedded Information Literacy
Starting in the Summer of 2019, I conducted a series of Information Literacy workshops at Juniata College to introduce and educate instructors on the ACRL Framework for Information Literacy. These presentations were built around focused campus initiatives such as the re-design of the college's general education program and the 2-year effort to assess information literacy in all academic programs.
​
Objectives/Outcomes
-
Inform campus instructors and administrators about the ACRL Framework
-
Provide concrete examples on how to incorporate the ACRL Frames in a meaningful way at the project, course, and department level
-
Increase instructor confidence in teaching students information literacy concepts and skills in their subject/field
Physics Information Literacy Project (Physics Seminar, Juniata College)
After attending one of my Information Literacy workshops, the head of the Physics department reached out to request an information literacy project that challenges students to question the resources they use for research. Together, we created the following assignment: a 6-week project to research various perspectives on a single topic. Each student was expected to lead a discussion on their individual research before combining their resources to create a new output: a podcast, poster, presentation, etc.
​
Objectives/Outcomes
-
Students will be aware of different types of authority
-
Students will examine the impact of certain information based on delivery method

Students will learn that there is more than one way to find information on a topic

Students will learn that they are in an ongoing scholarly conversation on their research topic
