Optimizing the Field Through a Curriculum Mapping Initiative

This presentation shares a new model of curriculum mapping to demonstrate how library instruction programs can make connections between high profile campus initiatives and library instruction. While this model was designed to address one institution’s changes to the general education curriculum, the model is flexible and transferable. Attendees will be able to define various types of curriculum mapping approaches and identify strategies for designing their own curriculum mapping frameworks. Frameworks can be used to map library instruction to the student experience, space usage, and new university-wide initiatives in an effort to assess future changes in information literacy programs.
