(Association of College & Research Libraries, 2021-04-16) Maxson, Bronwen K.; Espinosa de los Monteros, Pamela; Alonso-Regalado, Jesús; Thornhill, Kate
The growing importance of 21st century literacies in higher education is expanding the instructional reach of Latin American and Caribbean Studies (LAC) librarians in instructional courses. LAC librarians are actively pursuing creative pedagogical approaches to support curricula and research that address important areas of linguistic diversity and social justice as well as critical issues including decolonization, global citizenship dispositions, and U.S. migration/immigration. This panel will highlight the diverse LAC pedagogy and instructional practices of three LAC librarians from the Seminar on the Acquisition of Latin American Library Materials (SALALM) who will discuss their instructional design to information literacy instruction that is unique to area studies and also expanding into other areas such as digital scholarship and data services. This moderated panel will exchange ideas and approaches and reflect together on the potential of information literacy instruction to support global and critical issues.
