Andrea Brooks | Pedagogy & Assessment Librarian
As part of the Education & Outreach Team at NKU's Steely Library, I teach credit-bearing IL courses and IL sessions in a one-shot setting. I'm drawn toward research and new ideas in the areas of open and critical pedagogy and using my journalism background to connect IL and news literacy concepts.
Courses taught: Information Literacy, Advanced Information Literacy, Trends in Information Science, Management of Libraries and Information Centers

Lesson Plans Contributed
Two librarians at NKU developed an Informed Voting workshop to help students navigate information during the 2024 election season. Attendees were provided a worksheet to learn about the candidates/issues on their ballot and dig into one issue/race to investigate during the workshop.
This resource and accompanying assignment focuses on evaluating news sources/claims and were used in an online information literacy class.
