“…17 Advocating for college students with learning disabilities, Nall at East Carolina University (ECU) asserted that the principles of Universal Design for Learning by academic librarians should be used to build a comprehensive response to a wide variety of learning needs. 18 According to Kavanagh, Webb, and Hoover, also at ECU, academic librarians in Joyner Library used Universal Design for Learning elements to review an existing biology LibGuide and revise it to include audio, visual, kinesthetic, and text methods of instruction. 19 They reported that using "a systematic approach to tutorial design that uses both the instructional design process of ADDIE and the design principles of UDL to differentiate means of representation of information will result in a positive educational experience for all students, not just those with learning disabilities."…”

“…Applying technology through engaging, active learning utilizes students' inherent technological skills and interests (Webb & Hoover, 2015;Margolin & Haydn, 2015). The use of cell phones as learning tools also enables elements of Universal Design for Learning, thereby meeting the needs of today's diverse student population (Nall, 2015;Tobin, 2014). This presentation will examine instruction services librarians' perceptions of phone use within the academic classroom.…”

This year the theme is information literacy and related phenomena in different arenas of people's everyday life. This is a research area whose body of studies is still quite limited. The presentations will increase our understanding of information literacy in terms of conceptual and methodological development and application in professional practice that aims to enhance learning, coaching, and teaching. They may inspire us towards novel approaches for getting hold of the phenomena in different everyday life environments and contexts. This year we had the total of 234 original initially submitted proposals, of which 180 were finally accepted for presentation and are thus included in this Book of Abstracts. The major part of the presentations is formed by papers, 98 in total. We have 38 presentations of best practices, seven workshops, 19 posters, 11 PechaKucha presentations, and three doctoral students' papers. We have three distinguished Keynote Speakers from the broad field of information sciences. Frans Mäyrä has investigated games and digital cultures for more than 20 years, Karen Fisher's research interests are in refugees' information behaviour and people's experiences of information in their everyday life, and Peter Bath is an expert of health informatics and sharing of information in online environments. Our Invited Speaker, Kristiina Kumpulainen from educational sciences, has studied young children's learning, development and wellbeing in formal education and beyond, as well as multiliteracies, dialogic learning, agency and identity, and teachers' professional development. All these 180 presentations of ECIL 2018 will provide us an opportunity to deepen our professional competence and widen our views of information literacy and related issues when the context is familiar to all of us, but the studies of these phenomena are rather rare.It is delightful to tell you that this year Finnish National Commission for UNESCO is a patron of ECIL along with IFLA's permanent patronage. ECIL's sponsors are the City of Oulu, the Finnish Library Association FLA, the Finnish Research Library Association, the AMKIT Universities of Applied Sciences Libraries in Finland, the Librarians' Foundation, and the Federation of Finnish Learned Societies. Furthermore, the Finnish Association for Information Studies is in charge of the Doctoral Forum that is organized with the support from the Finnish Association of Scholarly Publishing. Moreover, besides providing working hours, our Department of Information and Communication Studies has financially contributed in organizing ECIL 2018. We would like to thank all these bodies for their valuable support.Most of all, we are grateful to the initiators and pioneers of ECIL, Serap Kurbanoglu and Sonja Špiranec, for providing us this possibility to organize ECIL in Oulu. We also thank Joumana Boustany for her expertise with the finances and the conference management system, and Denis Kos for his support. In addition, ECIL would not take place without the Standing and Programme Committees' ...

PurposeThis paper tracks the literature through narrative progression from defining accessibility and inclusivity to Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and disability justice. This review culminated in the development of a check list of best practices for librarians who create online learning objects to consider. Then we turn to a case study of presenting these findings to professionals through the framework of UDL with a focus on multiple means of representation and engagement. We conclude with a reflective discussion on process and the potential for broader impact and future directions.Design/methodology/approachThis paper presents a case study of informing praxis with existing research while experimenting to address gaps in the literature through practice.FindingsThis paper presents a strong argument for using UDL frameworks beyond primary, secondary and higher education to contexts where professionals may be learning.Originality/valueThe research surrounding UDL beyond standard educational contexts does not currently exist, inside or outside of the library literature. This paper presents a new paradigm in expanding accessible and inclusive learning practices to include less formalized learning spaces.
