Librarian as designer and
learning architect
Creating a culture of
curiosity, questioning,
problem solving
Practices with library mission
and institutional strategic plan
Framework for
Information Literacy
Authority Is Constructed and Contextual Information Creation as a Process Information Has Value
RESEARCH AS INQUIRY Scholarship as Conversation
SEARCHING AS STRATEGIC EXPLORATION
Research as Inquiry:
Challenges
choosing and narrowing a topic developing questions and sub-questions
for research processing complex informationmonitoring gathered
information and assess for gaps or weaknessesorganizing information in meaningful wayssynthesizing ideas
gathered from multiple sourcesdrawing reasonable conclusions based on the analysis
and interpretation of informationmaking inferences and connecting ideasdeveloping
persistence, adaptability, and flexibilityembracing uncertainty and messiness of learningself-evaluation
Research as Inquiry:
Challenges
building background knowledgeexploring and determining best sources for
information seeking contextidentifying and building keywords and the vocabulary of
the topicidentifying scholars and expertsutilizing divergent and convergent
thinkingdeveloping a diverse range of effective search strategieseffective
notetaking evaluating information and authority in context of information seeking

Building prior knowledge; connecting information to self; gaining background information and context; can be individual or collaborative.
Begin developing questions (essential questions and guiding questions); make predictions/hypothesis
Find and evaluate information to answer questions, test hypothesis, refine questions and topic. Think about information to illuminate new questions and hypotheses.
Construct new understandings connected to previous knowledge Connect essential questions to new understandings and insights Draw conclusions Revisit information and find additional information as needed to take next steps toward answering essential and guiding questions.
Apply understandings to a new context, new learning situation Express new ideas to share learning with others
Reflect Self-assessment Identify future questions for inquiry Identify how work/learning artifacts reflect specific learning standards, skills, processes.
Affective/Emotional Responses Uncertainty Optimism Confusion/Frustration/
Doubt Clarity
Recursive/ cyclical
Confidence, Sense of Direction
Satisfaction in skills done well;
honest assessments of
things that may be improved in future
efforts.
KWLs, Written Conversations/Write-Arounds, LibGuides, Fishbowl discussions, Presearch Search Term Mapping, using Making Thinking Visible learning structures/strategies
Connect
Written Conversations/Write-Arounds, Inquiry Circles, Research Design Proposal, Question Lenses
Wonder
Search strategies, speed dating research, online discussions, exploration of many types of sources, evaluating “authority”, small and large group share activities, research conferences (small group and 1:1), research reflections roundtables, citation instruction with EasyBib
Investigate
Graphic organizers, notecards, mindmapping, Making Thinking Visible learning structures/strategies
Construct
Drafting, multigenre or multimodal compositions, graphic organizers for planning various kinds of compositions (traditional and nontraditional)
Express
Portfolios, performance, demonstration, presentation (solo and group), ticket out the door, checklists, observation, surveys, self-assessment, rubrics: formative and summative
Reflect
Writing as a medium for
thinking
Collaborative work (individual to small group to
large group) CC image via https://flic.kr/p/9xgkgZ
The American Dream
A thinking routine for connecting new ideas to prior knowledge
Connect • How are the ideas and information
presented CONNECTED to what you already knew about the American Dream?
Extend • What new ideas did you get that
EXTENDED or pushed your thinking about the American Dream in new directions?
Challenge
• What is still CHALLENGING or confusing for you to get your mind around? What questions, wonderings or puzzles do you now have?
