Call for Chapters: Critical Information Literacy Applications in Libraries

Critical Information Literacy Applications in Libraries, published by ALA Editions Edited by: Lauren S. Kehoe, Accessibility & Accommodations Librarian, New York University, and Julie N. Hornick, Senior Instructional Services Librarian, Florida Southern College Please send questions to [email protected] Please use this form to submit your chapter proposal, listing the lead author and up to two co-authors.Critical information literacy asks that librarians work with learners to question and challenge the oppressive systems behind the creation, production, and dissemination of information. This difficult work is happening across all types of libraries, and encompasses (among other topics) questions of neutrality in the resources libraries provide, the algorithms that provide search results, the voices that are absent or present from our collections, and the accessibility of those resources. This edited book will focus on Critical Information Literacy applications for academic, public, school, and special libraries and was inspired by the LIRT President’s Program of the same name at ALA Annual in June, 2022 (see pps. 5-6 of this PDF). ​​ The target audience for this work includes academic, public, school, and special librarians, especially those responsible for instruction and professional development. However, it will have a wider application amongst those interested in the topic of critical information literacy (including library school students). This work will: include perspectives on critical information literacy that is not specific to academic libraries offer library instruction practitioners resources and lesson plans related to critical information literacy strategies include information on professional development initiatives for library workers take critical information literacy out of traditional silos benefit instruction librarians and practitioners by providing a theoretical framework for examples of diverse approaches to, and practical applications of, critical information literacy across a variety of library types offer practitioners from across a spectrum of library types an opportunity to learn from others in the diverse field of librarianship engaging with critical information literacy concepts in the classroom. Chapter sections will include: Theoretical Frameworks of Critical Information Literacy, Critical Information Literacy Programs, Professional Development Programs, Partnerships Across and Between Library Types, and Lesson Plans That Can Be Adapted For Different Types of Libraries.
