The Oregon Information Literacy Summit gathers together academic professionals who teach information literacy to undergraduates, from Dual Credit high school teachers to two- and four-year college instructors, particularly librarians and faculty teaching in writing-intensive disciplines.
 
With talks, panels, and presentations, the IL Summit offers Oregon educators a unique face-to-face opportunity to participate in an ongoing discussion about the importance of and techniques for embedded information literacy instruction within every discipline.
 
As the date approaches, registration details and a Call for Proposals will be circulated and posted to the Oregon IL Summit page of the ILAGO blog: http://ilago.wordpress.com/oregon-il-summit/
 
2012 Oregon Information Literacy Summit Call for Proposals
Oregon’s Information Ecology: Cultivating Student Success Along the Academic Continuum
Saturday May 19, 2012, Chemeketa Community College: Yamhill Valley Campus, McMinnville

Call For Proposals

The Information Literacy Advisory Group of Oregon along with the OLA Library Instruction Round Table, the Oregon Writing and English Advisory Committee and ACRL-Oregon invite you to submit proposals for the 6th annual Oregon IL Summit.

Send us your ideas for panels, papers, presentations, round-tables, workshops on best practices and pilot projects around information literacy...we would love to hear about your work.

This year’s theme, “Oregon’s Information Ecology:  Cultivating Student Success Along the Academic Continuum” focuses on growing higher ed’s cash crop; life-long learners. Of special interest are the relationships that keep Oregon’s information literacy environment healthy. Tell us about your interdisciplinary partnerships and fruitful collaborations across institutions and disciplines. Topics of interest might include ways to cross-fertilize and expand critical thinking, bridging information literacy gaps for students as they transition through levels of education, strategies for addressing a range of student needs within one class or discipline (less experienced students in a class with more experienced students), and creative ways to evolve and grow life-long learners all along the academic continuum.

The day will begin with an update on information literacy in Oregon, including discussion about the Common Core State Standards and implications for secondary and higher ed IL programs.

Deadline for submitting proposals is April 20th

Submit proposal form via email to CFP Coordinator:
Pam Kessinger, Portland Community College, pkessing@pcc.edu.
Deadline:  April 20, 2012
