Professional Groups & Networking
ACRL Distance Learning Section Instruction Committee
Your people if you teach online, hybrid, or to students you'll never meet in person. They run webinars on accessibility, LMS integration, and screen-based engagement. The annual Virtual Poster Session is a treasure trove of creative solutions for distance learning challenges.
The mothership. This is the biggest group of teaching librarians in ACRL and the home of the Information Literacy Framework itself. Join for committee work, mentorship programs, and access to ILI-L—the discussion list where thousands of instruction librarians swap ideas, troubleshoot problems, and share wins in real time.
ACRL Information Literacy Immersion Program
The most sought-after professional development for instruction librarians. This intensive bootcamp challenges everything you think you know about teaching and rebuilds it from the ground up. Alumni consistently say it transformed their how they teach. Apply early—acceptance is limited and competitive.
Lifelong Information Literacy (LILi)
Bridges the gap between K-12, academic, public, and special libraries. Their free annual conference and Show & Tell webinars are great for understanding what students learned (or didn't) before they got to you. Super useful if you care about the high school-to-college transition.
