This document outlines how library information literacy instruction can help students become active participants in research. It discusses the ACRL information literacy competency standards and how teaching those standards through techniques like modeling skills, student-centered learning, and reflective exercises can equip students to form their own research questions, evaluate and ethically use information, and enter academic conversations. The document also proposes opportunities for libraries to partner with writing and student support centers to collaboratively teach these skills across campus.
ATALM 2013 Connecting Theory and Practice - Indigenous Librarianshipvalariek
ATALM 2013 International Conference of Indigenous Archives, Libraries, and Museums, Albuquerque, New Mexico
Connecting Theory and Practice: New Insights and Inspired Solutions
My role included organizing and moderating this group presentation with several other SJSU SLIS Circle of Learning scholars (their slides are not included). My portion of the presentation explored the idea of indigenous librarianship and recruiting indigenous people in library and information science programs. Many thanks to Heather Devine for her support and contribution, to Linda Wynne for moderating the discussion group for my topic, and especially to my Circle of Learning colleagues who co-presented with me.
Program Description
Join graduate students from the Circle of Learning program at San Jose State University for a lively discussion about successes and challenges in tribal cultural institutions. Students will offer a fast-paced presentation about topics in tribal archives, libraries, and museums followed by discussion with the audience. This will generate awareness and facilitate collaborative learning between students and professionals who share mutual interests, helping to provide new insights into current issues in the field and inspire solutions or ideas about ongoing issues.

Sciences Candidate
2. Entering the Conversation
Writing is not playing someone else's game.
Successful writing involves the creation and
framing of your own questions about the sources
you've chosen. You want to attend to the
assignment at the same time that you locate and
articulate your own, particular interest in it.

Use information effectively to accomplish a specific
purpose
Understand issues surrounding the use of

Accessing sources
Evaluate & Use information
Understand ethics of info
access and use
= Participation (CREATE!)
5. Critical Thinking
… is PRESENT in all steps of the
research process!
Critical Thinking & Information Literacy
are not in competition, but rather
compliment each other.
6. Information Literacy: Techniques
Model specific tools and skills
Student centered learning
Investigative exercises
Collaborative efforts to problem solve
Reflection of research experience
Practice in evaluation and use of information

7. Students as Participants
Learner-Centered-Teaching asks the instructor
to “facilitate and guide learners … to do the
work of learning, to become actively involved in
the material to be learned, and to then create
their own understanding of that material.”
(Kaplowitz, 2012, p. 8)
*Equipping students to “Enter into the Conversation!”
8. Information Literacy Opportunities:
Course integrated instruction
Library workshops – high need, high interest

9. Collection Development
Survey faculty to assess collection needs and
evaluate existing resources.
Meet with faculty to ensure that the collection

11. Collaborative Efforts
It is crucial that critical thinkers who want to
change our teaching practices talk to one
another, collaborate in a discussion that crosses
boundaries and creates a space for intervention.
(hooks, 1994, p. 129)
