KeyWordPlay: Playfulness in Information Literacy

April 5, 2023

10:00am - 11:00am Pacific (1pm Eastern, 12pm Central, 11am Mountain, 9am Alaska, 8am Hawaii)

What do YOU do when a search fails?

A library user takes an active role in searching. Their success not only depends on their knowledge of search strategies, but their tendency to persist and change their strategies on the fly. Successful searchers are those who experiment, explore, and even play. But how do we teach flexibility and creativity in a time-limited classroom setting? How do we teach someone to persist when they're on their own, or to navigate new information environments in the future?

Join Jay Edwards in an exploration of playfulness and information literacy. Learn how the language of play can reframe the vocabulary of the ACRL Framework. See how various librarians have integrated games into library instruction to teach a balance of strategy and flexibility in time-limited classroom settings. Maybe even come up with some game ideas of your own.

Session will be recorded.
