their article: “Fostering IL skills while working both as colleagues and
supporters of faculty efforts to meet students’ learning needs is among the
fundamental duties of academic librarians. <span>Although
this may be a universal point of agreement, how to best go about fulfilling and
inspiring IL in our curriculum while supporting faculty and students is a
perennial task.</span> To effectively create an IL curriculum requires us to
reflect on the needs of our learners, consider our praxis, and design
assessments that are inclusive of our students and faculty so that we can
strengthen our capacity to provide IL in increasingly meaningful ways. Our
collaboration fostered our thinking around these subjects and also provided us
with an opportunity to put our ideas, research, and experience with IL learning
into practice.”<span></span></span></font></span></p><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><font size="2">
