ACRL/NY First Year Experience (FYE) & Information Literacy/Instruction 
(IL) 6/19/2015 Meeting

Please join us for the upcoming members-only  joint meeting of the 
ACRL/NY FYE & IL Discussion Groups. Our topic will be:

*"Engaging Teaching & Learning with Social Media: Information Literacy 
Strategies for Librarians #Teaching #Learning #SocialMedia #InfoLit 
#Strategies4Librarians"*

Undergraduates engage with social media everyday. Building on the 
knowledge base of social media skill sets already familiar to them, 
librarians can use those competencies to build the bridge to their 
practical application in research methodologies. In this session we will 
have a roundtable discussion on ways in which we can teach information 
literacy concepts through the grounding of the hashtag terminology and 
structure. Key here is the potential to enrich teaching and learning by 
enabling students to map their own understanding of information 
organization through their use of hashtags to more conventional subject 
headings and thesauri used in academic research.
