Faculty in the News
Sarah Paige , Online Learning/eResources Librarian, Cocoa Campus, attended the 2019
Association of College and Research Libraries Immersion Program on the University
of Loyola Chicago Campus, July 28–August 2, 2019. Immersion brings together 100
librarians each summer to learn about teaching information literacy in higher education
settings. Six librarian-facilitators use one particular lens for each gathering. This year’s
focus was on Social Justice, Equity and Inclusion. Sarah gathered valuable information
about how librarians are adding these topics to their information-literacy classes through
the use of specific keywords in database demonstrations, through in-class learning
activities and through campus-wide gatherings that bring together students, staff and
faculty to encourage change at their institutions. She also made the acquaintance of
100 very interesting librarians from all over the United States and Canada, plus librarians
each from Ireland, Lebanon and China. Breakout sessions included topics like “Intro to
Critical Reflective Practice,” “Mapping Our Practices,” “Information Literacy,” “Leading,”
“Unpacking Privilege,” “Designing for Equity,” “Project Management,” “Assessment,”
“Persuading & Negotiating,” “Sustainable Practices” and “The Scholarship of Teaching
and Learning.” Sarah plans to create a research guide that will contain Immersion
information and resources. She was able to attend Immersion thanks to EFSC PLAF funds
and one of the Jim Morris Travel Stipends from NEFLIN.
