Critical information literacy and museum visitor studies = participatory learning in the library’s shared spaces. Using museum engagement techniques, librarians can better support the experience, engagement, and assessment of student learning in creative, effective, and nontraditional ways.

• Context library  series – instructional art exhibit integrated into the  curriculum in the library lobby by local artist, low budget,  by librarian and student workers
• Museum studies framework- personal, sociocultural, physical
• Falk and Dierking’s  Contextual Model of learning
• personal context – constructivist theory, individual role in their learning
  • EX: wounded Hearts exhibit, hearts students could add to the clothesline;
  • they digitized the exhibit heats and put in their IR!)
• sociocultural context – role for social interactions and experiences in ones learning process;
• social cognition
  • EX: patterned heritage exhibit – like a game board road map where students add to and create;
  • EX: invisible project photos of homelessness – with large post its on the wall where student can write answers to questions ending with a panal discussion about resources locally
• physical context – role of library as as learning laboratory;
• situated learning
  • EX:  enlisting a nation display about WW1 propaganda, students worked through the exhibit reacting and responding to it, creating their own new knowledge from that
• Other exhibit examples with students:
  •  more than a fence (de) constructing mexico US borders. created by introduction to sculpture class. using a recycled piece of chain linked fence the interactive part was students could add messages, notes, memories on to the fence to create a personal context to them.
  • student created poster session exhibit:  Beyond the Stereotype, a social justice initiative to stop cultural appropriation (posters of students ripping up posters of these stereotypes; there was a call to pledge to civility and diversity on a butcher paper roll on the wall … this produced a lot of conversation on paper white students not understanding (wow); they used Conversations that Matter (Hashtag) virtually through the hashtag and then an in person conversation facilitated by a professor and then captured in storify. (THESE POSTERS ARE CC and FREELY AVAILABLE TO USE)
  •  The Uterus Flag Project
• Tools that can be used to engage:
  •  socrative
  • hashtags

SESSION – replace scavenger hunts with Problem Based Learning (PBL)
bit.ly/pbl-lib-instruction

small group discussion on scavenger hunts – sometimes good for tours, or for INTO folks; what is the real need or  goal for scavenger hunts?

– want new students to feel welcome
– want them to know about our spaces and services

these are good things! but apply problem based learning and use in a one shot, orientation, first year writing class, etc  HOW — groups, directions, scenarios, tools, teach others.

PBL from 1970s (Barrow) – student centered, small groups, teaching guide, student demos

why PBL good?

• self directed learning
  centered in student experiences
  build  problem solving skills in research and inquiry
  students are teachers
  focus on the students strengths!
  relevant – cultural competences
  what is the students goal for success – it may not be yours!
  always have them do a so what? question at the end

see CORA – community of online research assignments https://www.projectcora.org/ 

EX: 2 websites an NRA site give a gun take a gun but its a .org (share the safety.ogr)| greatness site that is for runners that quotes PubMed but has lots of ads and its a .com — showing its not as easy as .org vs .com
