Love the ideas you hear at LOEX but struggle to make them work at your home institution? This session focuses on turning that inspiration into action. You will explore strategies found in implementation science, an evidence-based approach from public health, to adapt ideas to your institution's unique context. I will draw on my experience adapting an information literacy program I developed for a new First Year Seminar at Ohio Wesleyan University to fit an established FYS program at Butler University to show how this process can work. You will then explore tools to help you assess feasibility, identify what to retain or modify, and find key campus stakeholders. Through hands-on activities, you will leave with a plan for all the inspiration from LOEX.
Participants will: 1. Discover the core principles of Implementation Science and how they apply to library instruction programs 2. Explore at least two tools from the Quality Implementation Framework Toolkit to evaluate and adapt an instructional idea for their own context
