Integrative learning helps students make interdisciplinary connections and apply theory to real world situations. As faculty at Concordia College in Moorhead, MN incorporate integrative learning into the curriculum, the Carl B. Ylvisaker Library is re-envisioning what information literacy instruction looks like in an integrative learning environment. This presentation will explain what integrative learning is and what it looks like at Concordia in order to contextualize the steps the Carl B. Ylvisaker Library is taking to be at the forefront of campus integrative learning initiatives. Attendees will learn about changes in instruction and reference interactions and opportunities for new campus partnerships. The presentation will also outline the importance of information literacy instruction beyond the classroom and how the library’s Civic Engagement Week programming exemplifies integrative learning. Attendees will have time to share their experiences with integrative learning and brainstorm how their libraries can respond to and lead integrative learning initiatives.
