InfoLit MeetUp (Summer 2024) – IL & Metrics Support for Faculty

AMICAL’s Information Literacy Interest Group invites you to another “InfoLit MeetUp” event (previously called “Virtual Tuesdays”).

InfoLit MeetUp events are informal conversations on information literacy topics important to AMICAL members. These conversations are participant driven: attendees will be able to add topics and/or questions to the agenda so that we can all share good practices and learn from each other’s expertise.

Metrics, altmetrics and the question of impact have been on the radar for librarians for a while now. The ILIC interest group intends to revisit the topic in the context of LAU’s new libguide on research impact. Together, we aim to improve LAU’s in-the-making libguide! By doing so, it will remind us of old and new tools in the field and how we can use the question of research impact in faculty development and information literacy instruction.

Who should attend? AMICAL librarians, technologists and faculty members involved in information literacy.

Facilitators: Joyce Draiby (Lebanese American University) & Michael Stoepel (American University of Paris).
