Session Description:
Frequently the issue of accessibility within the context of libraries is framed as accommodation predicated on difference. Our paper reframes this issue as one of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) within the instructional design of information literacy learning. Using DEI to recast this issue reveals significant intersections of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles with three current models for learning: the ACRL Framework, growth mindset, and design thinking. By illustrating these intersections, we will provide a conceptual framework for designing information literacy teaching and learning, and empower participants to enact curricular change in their library.
