While librarians often dive quickly into the latest pedagogies and technologies, many of us are experiencing trend fatigue. How can we incorporate artificial intelligence, new source evaluation techniques, and all the other cool things into our increasingly overstuffed instruction sessions, not to mention overstuffed brains? This presentation will take participants through the process of sustainable innovation, our collaborative and low-stress method of responding to emerging trends without losing focus on our core mission. We will highlight a GenAI microcourse and misinformation toolkit illustrating sustainable innovation in action, and participants will develop their own context-specific roadmaps for practical and impactful project implementation.
Participants will: 1. identify key contextual and affective barriers to instructional innovation and assess their impact on sustainable growth and professional morale. 2. Explain the process of sustainable innovation and apply its key tenets to strategic planning and collaboration within information literacy programs. 3. Create a progressive but practical project implementation plan responsive to institutional and individual needs.
