IPAL Information Literacy Interest Group Spring Conference 2022

Thank you to all who were able to attend this year's IPAL Information Literacy Interest Group meeting! It was wonderful to see familiar faces, and get to know folks who are new to Iowa's academic libraries! We had 17 people attend the IL Interest Group session held May 20, 2022. 

We broke our time into 3 segments: 

  • We began with our familiar Solution or Sympathy activity where participants wrote down instruction/library-related questions or concerns; shared the questions anonymously to see if the group has experienced something similar; and offered up possible solutions, or sympathized to let the person who submitted the question know that at least they're not alone.
  • We celebrated the big and little things in the Wins This Year segment. We asked for your successes, to share something you're proud of--whether it was a major project or a singular moment. We enjoyed celebrating each others' accomplishments.
  • Then we transitioned into Discussion Groups (AKA Table Topics) - We've brought together the notes from each group and posted them in the embedded Google Doc below. 
Thank you again to everyone who participated! These interest group sessions are so rich and meaningful because of what you bring to the conversations!
