Information Literacy Outcomes, the Path to College: Community College and High School Librarians Collaborating

On April 30th at 2pm, join us for the next NILRC Information Literacy Committee webinar. Contact Lisa for the Zoom link.

Title: Information Literacy Outcomes, the Path to College: Community College and High School Librarians Collaborating

Presented by Jason Ertz, College of DuPage; Amy Glass, Illinois Central College; and Lisa Pritchard, Jefferson College

This webinar approaches collaboration between high school and community college librarians in two different ways. First, the presenters will discuss the different types of early college (dual credit) opportunities available in Illinois and Missouri. Secondly, they will discuss the collaboration process for high school students who may not be enrolled in early college but still need vital information literacy instruction. Both scenarios will talk about the introduction of the ACRL Framework to high school students, along with providing examples, best practices, and resources.
