LOEX 2026

Does your instructional program feel like you're lost at sea, or can you say that you're following a charted course towards a pedagogical destination? Drawing on our experience developing a unifying instructional framework for our library system, this interactive workshop will prepare participants to perform similar work in their own institutional contexts. Participants will be guided through a process of identifying and applying strategies for focusing instructional scope and prioritizing capacity while meeting learners' needs. You will leave with the start of a treasure map for an instructional framework that will aid advocacy, coordination, and communication in your libraries.

Participants will be able to:
1. Collaboratively outline the audiences and content areas of their organization's instructional program
2. Map those audiences and content areas to overarching instructional goals in order to advocate and lead (at all levels)
3. Develop a strategy for getting stakeholder buy-in and implementing this instructional framework, considering local institutional contexts
