Joshua Finnell presented an overview of Denison University's instruction program and assessment approaches for information literacy. The webinar covered the history of information literacy from the bibliographic instruction movement to the current framework. Denison uses various instruction methods like one-shot sessions, library labs, and tutorials. Assessment techniques include questionnaires, presentations, papers, and bibliography sampling. The new framework focuses on concepts like authority as contextual and information having value. The biggest challenge is assessing with the framework providing less defined outcomes than the previous standards.

- 16. Biggest Challenge? Assessment 1. ACRL Task Force made a conscious decision to shift away from the hundred learning outcomes associated with the old standards 2. The Task Force hoped to make outcomes the purview of the librarians working in a local, campus context rather than provide a national standard. 3. Meyer and Land, originators of threshold concepts have provided little guidance on ways to transform threshold concepts into outcomes.

Editor's Notes
- Anyone recognize this man?
- Librarians begin moving towards a conceptual framework of instruction. The incorporation of learning theories blended with research strategies.
- Talk about the learning outcomes associated with these standards. 100 total. How they formed the core of assessment. Give examples of learning outcomes for first two.
