2014 Charleston Library Conference

Flipping the Library utilizes resources the library already purchases and creates to solve a problem every academic library faces. We all have too many classes that require information literacy presentations and too little time to present them to the students that need it. Flipping the Library promotes collaboration between librarians and faculty by using technology to embed information literacy into their courses. I will show how I am using LibGuides, tutorials, Canvas and Camtasia to enable faculty to include information literacy lesson in their course on their terms.I will bring sample handouts I use in class to engage students and demonstrate what information literacy is and how to build these skills. I will conduct a brainstorming session to find out how others are using these technical resources and their ideas to improve this concept.
