I am excited to share the video from the keynote talk at this year’s Information Literacy Summit, which was co-hosted by DePaul University and Moraine Valley Community College. The link to the talk is below, along with background on keynote speaker Dr. Wendy Holliday.

“Boundaries and Sovereignties: Placing Students at the Center of Information Literacy” (keynote)

Using the metaphors of boundaries and thresholds, this talk examines some of the recent discourse around the ACRL Framework for Information Literacy and the purpose of higher education. It explores what might happen when we place students and the idea of sovereignty at the center of our conceptions of information literacy.
