IATUL Liberating the Library Project: Liberating Information Literacy
Our work will feed into the Liberating the Library project's open educational resource, currently in development by the IATUL Special Interest Group for Information Literacy. This project is a global collaboration with partners from South Africa, the UK and the UAE. The aim of is to curate and share global best practice in liberating information literacy. Liberating information literacy emphasises a broadening of information discovery for the active inclusion of multiple perspectives. It discerns information creation as both process and product and seeks to achieve information justice by advocating for a broader range of critical approaches and perspectives in knowledge creation, curation, dissemination and discovery.
Library Inclusivity for Blind Students Project
The enhancing library inclusivity for blind students project was a small participatory action research project located at the University of Sheffield during the summer of 2023. The ambition was to make our student library, the Information Commons, a centre of excellence for blind students. Of note to the Creative Library Project is the investment in a PIAF tactile image printer which produces high quality tactile graphics using heat sensitive capsule paper. We are now able to include tactile graphics in our creative workshops.
The Joyful Learning Project
The Creative Library project is working collaboratively with the Joyful Learning Project. Led by Dr Lauren White and Dr Will Mason in the University of Sheffield Methods Institute, in partnership with the Students' Union and the University Library, the project aim is to collaboratively consider how the process of creative learning can be a joyful, transformative educational experience and an enriching approach to social research.
