*Journal of Map and Geography Libraries Call for Papers: Special Issue on
Information Literacy Instruction              *

The Journal of Map & Geography Libraries invites articles highlighting
practice and research-based approaches on the ways changes in information
literacy philosophies have redefined/reimagined information literacy
instruction in academic libraries. For this special issue we would like to
include articles focusing on library instruction across all types of
libraries that highlight creative approaches to student learning.

The purpose of this special issue is to expose map and geospatial
information librarians to a wide range of instructional approaches in order
to inspire new, creative ideas and collaborations for spatial literacy
instruction.

We expect an interesting range of contributions, from traditional research
studies to design cases and opinion pieces supported by literature and/or
practice. Examples and experiences from outside the traditional boundaries
of instructional design and educational technology will also enrich the
discussion.

Suggested topics include, but are not limited to:

Geospatial data literacy instruction

Application of the ACRL Information Literacy Framework to spatial literacy
instruction

Primary source instruction

Curriculum mapping for information literacy

Embedded librarianship

The flipped classroom model in library instruction

Active learning in library instruction

Assessment

Practices and challenges in distance learning instruction
