Reading critically, thinking critically: Challenging assumptions about the role of reading in academic research

 

Session Description:
“You’re a librarian, you must love reading.” As academic librarians, we spend a lot of time pushing back against the idea that books are all we do. However, as academic librarians, we also bring a unique lens to the ways students experience reading and using information sources critically. In this presentation, panelists will illustrate how information literacy barriers students face are often related to reading. Panelists will present teaching and curricular strategies used to facilitate critical reading practices in a range of settings, including different disciplinary contexts and using varied media.
