Presenters: Jennifer Lau-Bond, Harper College

Learning communities are opportunities to engage students, consider big questions, and connect with ideas beyond the classroom. Information literacy skills play a key role in all those goals. Incorporating information literacy into your learning communities can enhance the connections students make between the environment of your classroom and the wider world. In this session, you'll learn how librarians already collaborate with learning communities and how a partnership with your own campus library can enhance the student experience and be a perfect match for the larger aims of learning communities.
