Lessons from Forty Years as a Literacy Educator:

Abstract: This article summarises the author’s evolution as a writing instructor toward a career as a librarian teaching information literacy and finally as a scholar and researcher studying information literacy as an academic subject.  Changes in writing pedagogy are explored as they relate to changes in the author’s instructional practices and how they underlie an understanding of information literacy as a form of literacy practice closely related to writing.  Questions about the future of information literacy under c… Show more

“…During his career, Elmborg (2017) found his focus on literacy, rather than on teaching. He referred to "narrative literacy" as a concept to track the development of IL from his personal history.…”

“…The discovery of the Internet motivated Elmborg (2017) to "re-think the nature of academia, the ways we access and communicate scholarship, and the ways authorship would have to change in the context of the emerging new world" (p. 59). Additionally, the new century introduced main themes to the discussion: IL, the social turn, pragmatic approaches to IL instruction, and assessment.…”

“…More practical support can include helping faculty learn about the methods students use to cheat (Auer & Krupar, 2001), or introducing faculty to tools available to help them, whether demonstrating technology such as plagiarism checkers or providing resources for preventing misconduct in their classrooms, or simply helping them design original research projects that encourage meaningful use of sources (Smith, 2003;Wood, 2004). Intervening at this level in project design can also help reinforce what Elmborg (2017) refers to as the "process model of writing" (p. 58) because it privileges research at an early stage. Additionally, libraries can enhance the support they provide by working with other campus entities who share similar goals, with some of the most valuable academic integrity efforts occurring in collaboration with university writing centres.…”

“…These foci mirrored the interconnected ways in which librarians and writing centre staff typically engage with students about academic integrity during the research and writing process, and using the workshop as a means of parsing these roles has further reinforced both organizations' commitment to providing critical literacy instruction (Pagnac et al, 2014). Moreover, this kind of online asynchronous workshop disrupts the typical one-shot model of library instruction session criticised by Elmborg (2017).…”

“…Composition and rhetoric literature has a rich discourse on the theory and praxis of reflection as a pedagogical approach. Precedent has been set for turning to composition and rhetoric, as demonstrated by Elmborg (2006Elmborg ( , 2017, Jacobs (2008) and Drabinski (2017). Therefore, this essay explores the application of reflection as an explicit pedagogy that fosters transfer learning within course-embedded library instruction events using the framework for reflective pedagogy found in composition and rhetoric scholarship as a theoretical foundation.…”
