Information Literacy in the Public Library

Think you don't have time or the ability to conduct information literacy instruction at your library? Think again! This session will highlight some aspects of information literacy that you're probably already doing at your library, and offer suggestions of ways for you to incorporate info lit "on the run" for library users of all ages. You'll also learn how information literacy instruction can be a useful outreach tool to increase library and database usage.
