[Hammons, Jane]

All are welcome at this free panel discussion, being hosted by The Ohio State University Libraries. 

Information Literacy and Related Literacies: Exploring Relationships and Future Directions 

July 2, 2024 

1:00-2:00 pm (Eastern)

Information literacy exists alongside related literacies, including digital, media, algorithmic, and artificial intelligence literacy. How do these literacies come together? Do they all fall under the umbrella of information literacy? If so, what does that mean for librarians' ability to teach information literacy? Should librarians embrace one of the other terms instead of information literacy? This discussion will consider information literacy in light of these other literacies, explore the existing relations, and consider future directions for how we think about these literacies. 

This panel is being hosted by The Ohio State University Libraries and is being offered as a follow-up to Celebrating 50 Years of Information Literacy: A Panel Discussion. All are welcome! To learn about additional free presentations being offered this summer, go to: Information Literacy Presentations (Summer 2024)
