Reimagined Information Fluency Continuum
Many of our professional development workshops this year will focus on the IFC. Our General Membership/Communication Coordinator Meeting (found in our Professional Learning Catalog) on October 22nd will be mostly devoted to showing librarians the revised document and how to begin to use it in every day practice. All librarians are encouraged to attend this training.
On December 4th, Barbara Stripling, creator of the IFC, will present at our SLS Regional Professional Learning Day. The sign up information for this workshop is also in the Professional Learning Catalog. Barbara will take participants deeper into the IFC and show them how to use the document to enhance student learning.
