This collection of collaborative, high-impact learning experiences in information literacy teaches librarians how to engage students in hands-on, experiential learning. The Association of American Colleges and Universities (AAC&U) has identified 11 practices that are highly impactful to student learning to designate as high-impact educational practices (HIP). These practices engage students deeply in a meaningful, connected way to their work. Librarians teach and support student learning in many ways that assist these AAC&U practices, such as information literacy instruction for capstone, writing, and first-year seminars and research support for collaborative assignments and projects. Engaging Students through Campus Libraries calls attention to work in information literacy that goes beyond a traditional librarian role; it features librarians and faculty partners who engage in projects that highlight salient, experiential facets of the AAC&U practices in order to teach information literacy. In this book, librarians will learn high-impact, experiential learning models for working with students. They will understand how to think about and describe how AAC&U best practices are currently embodied in their organizations. They will also imagine future learning experiences for students with HIPs in mind, resulting in information literacy that is integrated into disciplinary work in a vital and transformative way. “The programs described are detailed and useful examples of high-impact information literacy skills instruction.” ― Library Journal “These well-written and well-researched papers provide a solid roadmap for librarians seeking to create new initiatives in their own libraries. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Graduate students, researchers, faculty, and professionals.” ― Choice Gayle Schaub , associate librarian, is the liaison to the College of Education at Grand Valley State University. Hazel McClure is associate librarian at Grand Valley State University.
