You are invited to submit a proposal for this preconference to be held in conjunction with the 82nd IFLA World Library and Information Conference, Columbus, Ohio, USA, 13-19 August 2016.
Curiosity and critical thinking skills are habits of mind that librarians, archivists, and museum educators strive to develop and exercise in their students, researchers, and visitors. Material culture and special collections encourage a multimodal approach to learning that can complement and extend traditional models of information literacy. This satellite conference will feature both practice and theory on the myriad ways in which primary sources and museum collections can be integrated into instructional programs.

We welcome proposals from library and museum practitioners, educators, and researchers from around the world. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
Instructional Design and Delivery
- Active learning and class session design
- Beyond the humanities: connecting with the sciences and social sciences
- Visual literacy
Program Administration
- Assessment and analytics
- Mapping to learning outcomes and institutional mission
- Programmatic, developmental approach vs. one size fits all
Resources
- Traveling trunks and online teaching kits
- Building online collections and using digital objects in instruction
