Dates: Tuesday & Wednesday, July 14–15, 2026
Times: 10:30 AM – 4:30 PM Eastern Time (Both Days)

Meeting Overview:
Reimagining Information Literacy is an opportunity for librarians, educators, and researchers to gather to reflect on the importance of information literacy. Variously understood as digital, visual, media, textual, and/or technological literacy, this forum approaches information literacy as an umbrella that is inclusive of all types. The need for a high degree of information literacy spans the continuum of life – from the time a child “reads” a cereal box at the breakfast table, to an elder’s decision-making around medical treatment, information is a part of daily life. With the advent of widespread artificial intelligence tools, it is also a time of reimagination.
Meeting topics to include:
In today’s media driven environment, it is more important than ever that people, especially young people, are able to ask questions, assess, prioritize, and responsibly distribute information. This forum will highlight a myriad of projects that focus on ensuring information literacy skills are taught and learned. It will provide insight into how information literacy can be understood as literacy about information, in addition to literacy about content or subject areas.
