Information possesses several dimensions of value, including as a
commodity, as a means of education, as a means to influence, and as
a means of negotiating and understanding the world. Legal and
socioeconomic interests influence information production and
dissemination. Many librarians struggle with the best methods,
activities, and practices for teaching information literacy.
Developing learning outcomes and activities, overcoming student and
faculty apathy toward information literacy instruction, and meeting
instructional and institutional goals can be difficult if you're
feeling overwhelmed with instructional jargon, or uncertain in your
teaching due to no formal training. Framing Information Literacy:
Teaching Grounded in Theory, Pedagogy, and Practice is a collection
of lesson plans grounded in theory and the ACRL Framework for
Information Literacy for Higher Education. 52 chapters over six
volumes provide approachable explanations of the ACRL Frames,
various learning theory, pedagogy, and instructional strategies,
and how they are used to inform the development of information
literacy lesson plans and learning activities. Each volume explores
one frame, in which chapters are grouped by broad disciplinary
focus: social sciences, arts and humanities, science and
engineering, and multidisciplinary. Every chapter starts with a
discussion about how the author(s) created the lesson, any
partnerships they nurtured, and an explanation of the frame and
methodology and how it relates to the development of the lesson,
and provides information about technology needs, pre-instruction
work, learning outcomes, essential and optional learning
activities, how the lesson can be modified to accommodate different
classroom setups and time frames, and assessment. The six volumes
of Framing Information Literacy aim to address the teaching anxiety
and insecurity librarians often experience by offering narratives
with the lesson plans that provide insight into the work involved
in developing a polished lesson plan; begin filling the teaching
and learning knowledge gap for librarians in the context of
information literacy, capturing the knowledge and practice of
fifty-eight teacher librarians and five teaching faculty from
forty-one institutions for others to incorporate and build upon;
and to explore how teacher librarians use the ACRL Framework in
conjunction with educational theory and pedagogy to help readers
form their own approaches to teaching information literacy. Each
volume contains the table of contents and index for the entire set,
as well as an overarching introduction and conclusion, for easy
cross-referencing across volumes. Explore your favorite frame, or
