How We Teach Is What We Teach: Integrating Effective FYE Instruction with Faculty [Credo webinar] In-Person

Teaching first year students presents a unique set of challenges for librarians and faculty. Students arrive without strong information literacy skills, and while faculty are experts in their disciplines, very few have studied research pedagogy. How students are taught during their first months on campus is almost as important as what they are taught.

Join Kent State University Library Director Mary Hricko and Fresno State Doctoral Student Ray Pun as they discuss strategies for improving the efficacy of information literacy instruction by using resources like Credo, and how to bring faculty into the loop so they too can positively impact student outcomes. From structuring research assignments, to orienting students to library resources, attendees will gain insights into how to:

  • Reduce library anxiety and other challenges common to first year students
  • Replace outdated faculty conceptions of library services and gain buy-in for information literacy instruction
  • Incorporate resources in instruction for maximum impact
