  1. Adapting the Framework for Information Literacy: Threshold Concepts as Metaphors for the Creative process Larissa Garcia & Jessica Labatte, Northern Illinois University

  2. Agenda • Information Literacy & Art Education • Information Literacy @ NIU’s School of Art & Design • One Artist’s Experience • Our Collaboration • Assessment & Impact • What We’d Do Differently

  3. Take-Aways • Seeing examples of how librarians are using the framework is valuable for our own work • Help generate Ideas of how to use threshold concepts For more effective outreach and student engagement

  4. Information literacy & art education • Difficult for art students to see the value in the library/IL instruction • Library/IL instruction not very present in studio art classes • IL standards were difficult to adapt to the Art Program Environment

  5. Heather Gendron states, “The individualized and multidisciplinary nature of art and design research offers librarians opportunities to better equip student artists and designers with information literacy skills that are embedded in the creative process” (2009).1 Left: Pae White, In her studio, Photography by TransGlobe Publishing from Arts Studio America: Contemporary Artist Spaces Above: Pae White installation view grengrassi, 2014, In love with Tomorrow, Installation view Langen Foundation, Neuss, Germany, both images courtesy 1301PE Gallery 1.

  7. Information Literacy & NIU School of Art & Design For the Library • New Art Subject Specialist: Untapped potential for outreach & instruction For the SACD • New Photography Professor: Disappointed with students’ research skills

  8. Inspiration for Natural Lighting Assignment ARTD 468 Five students presented this image found though a Google image search for the terms “natural light photography.” The image is credited with Photo Credit : Kruno / 1x.com A further search results in “user not found”

  9. The New FrameWorkfor Information Literacy for higher education • Metaliteracy approach • Threshold concepts • Common ground with faculty = opportunities to collaborate

  10. One Artist’s Experience As an artist: • Research as a source of inspiration • Research as a way to prepare for critiques As a teacher: • Embedded information literacy into learning objectives

  12. ARTD 468 Advanced Photographic media Course Objectives – students will learn: • “good research practices through a thorough investigation into their individualistic artistic interests.” • “to produce photographs within a ‘feed-back loop’ of curiosity, investigation, production, feedback, repeat...” Context & Content Research Assignments • Artist’s Statement • Weekly Reading Responses

  13. Our Collaboration • Research Assignment • Variety of sources required • Library session • Metaphors in art education • “scholarship as a conversation” • “searching as strategic exploration”

  14. Assessment and Impact • Weekly writing assignments “I spent most of this first part shouting ‘Yes! This book totally gets me!’ I connected with everything stated.” • Bibliographies • Library resources • Book heavy • Variety of subject areas/disciplines

  15. Student Surveys • What was the purpose of the research component for this course? “To create better, informed work.” “To utilize all options and paths that your work can take because everything/anything can help your work grow” • How did your research improve your photographic work “It helped expand my ideas past my main project, while still being applicable. I learned that some stuff that I was interested in separately were connected without my knowledge.”

  18. What We’d do differently • More than one library session • Research sessions with faculty & librarian • Revise required sources to be more specific & include multimedia
