Title: Teaching the teachers to teach information literacy: A literature review
Abstract: As part of the ongoing debates over the best methods for teaching information literacy, some librarians have argued for a "teach the teachers" strategy. In this approach, librarians concentrate some of their instructional energies on teaching disciplinary faculty to teach information literacy. In this paper, multiple examples of "teach the teachers" efforts are reviewed, in order to provide insight into the impact that taking this approach might have on librarians, faculty, and students. Results indicate that the "teach the teachers" approach shows promise as one method by which librarians can support the integration of information literacy into the curriculum, but that more assessment is needed to determine the long-term impact of such initiatives on faculty teaching practices and students' information literacy development.
