EBSS Instruction for Educators Committee

The EBSS IFE Committee is charged with providing “a forum for librarians interested in bibliographic instruction in education; identifying the issues and problems encountered by librarians serving schools, colleges, and departments of education in colleges and universities; and developing approaches and solutions to those problems.” The current membership of the committee plans to fulfill this charge by working to develop a replacement document for the Information Literacy Standards for Teacher Education (approved May, 2011). To do this, the committee plans to engage with the EBSS membership, as well as with the ACRL Framework for Information Literacy in Higher Education (approved January, 2016), in order to create a resource that reflects current practice.
