This session shares the details of a pilot project to create a more sustainable Information Literacy (IL) instruction program for first-year undergraduates. Our goal was to develop an instruction model that could be managed by our Library instruction team, reduce duplication of content and effort, incorporate both online and in-person instruction and promote self-directed student learning opportunities. Our blended instruction model incorporates: timely face-to-face classroom visits, online learning modules, hands-on critical thinking activities and student-directed drop-in research workshops.
