Instructors’ Perceptions of an Information Literacy-Centered Professional Development Workshop

The teach-the-teacher model, in which librarians act in an educational developer role, has been one approach that librarians have used to integrate information literacy into academic curricula. While there has been some scholarship on this work, more evidence is needed to establish the effectiveness of this approach. In this paper, we examine the instructors’ perceptions of a five-module teaching professional development workshop that promotes the transparent and equitable integration of information literacy into courses. Using pre- and post-workshop survey responses, we explore instructors’ motivations for participating, self-perceptions of learning, the most valuable aspects of the workshop, and anticipated changes to teaching practice.
