A Can’t-Miss Webinar for librarians from public libraries and academic libraries, as well as school librarians/teacher-librarians and library school students—anyone who plans online Information Literacy courses.  This is particularly critical in the current crisis when information seeking, and many library services have moved to a virtual environment.

The joint webinar from the IFLA Information Literacy (IL) Section and Library Services to People with Special Needs (LSN) Section on “Using Universal Design for Learning to Enhance Information Literacy Programs: Online and in the Library”  will be aired live in opposite time zones to accommodate participants in different parts of the world.

The intended audience includes, but is not limited to, any librarians planning Information Literacy courses, librarians providing online user training, library school students, and school librarians. Sign up to gain insights and actionable practices that can be put in place!
