Organizers of the 50th Annual LOEX Conference are now seeking proposals for breakout sessions. The meeting is currently scheduled to take place in person from May 5 through 7 (Thursday-Saturday), 2022, in Ypsilanti, Michigan. The theme of the meeting is “We Can Do It!: Retooling Library Instruction for Today’s Learning Environments”.
LOEX is returning in person and going back to its Michigan roots in May 2022–the home of Rosie the Riveter and the assembly line. Just as Rosie stepped up to the production line, we invite you to share how you’re pushing the boundaries of information literacy instruction in your work. Meet with like-minded colleagues to discuss how both instructional ingenuity and tried-and-true successes can impact 21st century student learning. There may be bumps in the road or breaks in the line, but we can do it!
Next year’s LOEX tracks are below.
- Pedagogy: Instructional Nuts and Bolts
- Assessment: Building in Quality Control
- Innovation: R&D in Information Literacy Instruction
- Leadership: Stepping Up to the Line
- Failures and Problem-Solving: Overhauling and Reinventing
- Collaboration and Outreach: Assembling Diverse Production Teams
