Abstract
As a growing number of educational experiences happen in distributed environments, it is imperative for library instructors to adapt our teaching practices to best fit the changing information literacy needs of diverse students. This paper presentation explores the emerging opportunities for librarians in redefining traditional information literacy and providing learners the skills and expertise to successfully navigate the information landscape in digital workspaces. A case study of asynchronous library instruction embedded in the learning management system will be provided as well as recommendations for librarians and instructors interested in developing and/or improving their online pedagogical practices. Utilizing a learner-centered perspective allows instructors to maintain collaborative, reflective, and meaningful exercises on knowledge production, use, and participation in online classrooms, allowing for inclusive and innovative learning experiences.
