Through its focus on questioning who creates information, addressing algorithmic biases, and advocating for the inclusion of marginalized voices, critical information literacy (CIL) can serve a vital function in navigating our complicated world. This collection uplifts voices from across the field-including those from public, school, and academic libraries-to provide practical approaches that all librarians can adopt and adapt for their particular library settings. Readers will
  • learn practical approaches for integrating CIL into instruction and praxis regardless of their level of experience;
  • gain tools to better engage with the complexities of today's information landscape and empower their communities to do the same;
  • be introduced to the theoretical frameworks of CIL through chapters that take a historical look at critical race theory in academic library instruction, CIL and feminist critique, and the intersection of queer pedagogy and CIL;
  • discover in-depth profiles of programs happening in various library types, from algorithmic literacy and a targeted wiki-edit-a-thon event to an outreach initiative targeting groups historically excluded from post-secondary education;
  • receive guidance on introducing CIL concepts to their peers and coworkers through professional development programs, such as introducing CIL practices into K-12 school culture, a CIL skills instruction program developed by public librarians to serve the everyday needs of information consumers, and a zine-making exercise for practicing reflection that embodies CIL; and
  • find ready-to-use lesson plans and outlines, with suggestions on tailoring them to a variety of library types.
