Curricular consultation between librarians and faculty is one possible solution to address complex curricular problems surrounding information literacy. During curricular consultation, librarians consult with faculty members and make recommendations to improve course, assignment, and scaffolded learning intervention design and alignment to support students in meeting information literacy learning objectives, and in retaining and applying critical information literacy knowledge.
In this presentation, three librarians each share how they implemented curricular consultations as a strategy for impacting curricular change at their institutions. Individual approaches will be contextualized by intersecting and differing aspects of presenters' positionalities.
Participants will: 1. Be able to form a baseline understanding of the practice of curricular consultation and its relevancy, promoting transfer and application of knowledge. 2. Understand the practice of curricular consultation further and how positionality can impact approaches and thus will be able to apply this method to practice and scope it to their own positions. 3. Be able to design and implement their own approaches to curricular consultation for information literacy and thus advance necessary curricular change and positively impact student success.
