1) The document discusses a panel event exploring the intersections between information literacy and scholarly communication. 2) It summarizes previous reports calling for better integration of these areas and provides examples of how some institutions are already doing this. 3) The panel will discuss challenges and opportunities for leveraging the overlap between information literacy and open access to better advocate for both agendas.

3. The premise for the day….
 ACRL Intersections report from 2013: Intersections of Scholarly
Communication and Information Literacy: Creating Strategic Collaborations
for a Changing Academic Environment
 LILAC 2019 Panel: Information Literacy and Open Access:
two movements one aim
 ILG event in December 2019: Event Review by Hannah Pyman
 Are librarians in danger of working in silos and missing opportunities to work
together better because of the structure of institutions which typically
separate research and teaching? Is there another way?

4. Exploring the intersections of
scholarly communication and
information literacy: 2nd Dec 2019
Padma Inala and John Hynes (University of Manchester)
“Opening the door”: looking towards an ‘open’ dialogue as
part of the student experience.
Dr Elizabeth Gadd (Loughborough University): Research
evaluation literacy: skilling up for responsible research
evaluation
Chris Morrison (University of Kent) The value of the CLA
licence and open access to support teaching
Claire Sewell (University of Cambridge): Which Way Now?
Supporting Librarians' Skills in an Ever Changing Landscape.

5. Our aims. Your aims?
 We will seek to explore how we can move away from institutional separation
of information literacy and scholarly communication matters to encourage
new perspectives for our advocacy work with academics and students in these
areas.
 Through presentations and activities we will identify key areas where
information literacy and open access intersect and how librarians might be
able to leverage this support to engage key stakeholders and support both
agendas.

6. Our panel
 Katie Evans, University of Bath
 Samantha Holman, ICLA
 Michelle Dalton, UCD
 Hardy Schwamm, NUIG Library

7. Some thoughts for the panel
The following conclusions came out of the ACRL report in 2013:
1. Integrate pedagogy and scholarly communication into educational
programmes for librarians to achieve the ideal of “information fluency”;
2. Develop new model information literacy curricula, incorporating new
developments in pedagogy and scholarly communication issues;
3. Explore options for organisational change;
4. Promote advocacy.
 What examples or evidence can you come up with from your own
institution to suggest the integration of IL / SC might be happening?
 What ideas do you have to support this? What challenges does it present?

8. Other questions for the panel
• To what extent is it our role to drive change?
• Are we here to support research & education or to
change it?
• Or perhaps to support change, or all of these.
• How feasible is it for libraries to contribute to
culture change in research practices?
• How can other universities set up Open Scholarship
Communities, what are the benefits and to what
extent should libraries get involved?
