Session Description:
How can librarians help students grapple with the fact that they don’t own their content on social media? Providing content and using content is not the same as common ownership and it is imperative that we help students recognize and navigate that difference as scholars and people. This session will examine how we can help students think more consciously about ownership and maintenance of information infrastructure. We will look specifically at the differences between material ownership and feelings of ownership and why that dissonance is vital to contemporary information literacy instruction.
