Step into the classroom with confidence! This webinar brings to life teaching scenarios from the 2025 (2nd edition) book The New Instruction Librarian, tackling the common (and sometimes surprising) challenges that instruction librarians face. Together, we’ll look at practical ways to respond in the moment, keep students engaged, and build confidence as an instructor. Our goal is to keep things real, practical, and reassuring, because you don’t have to figure this out alone. Co-authors Candice Benjes-Small and Rebecca Miller Waltz will be joined by a panel of librarians who served as experts in the book.

Presenters:

A frequent presenter at national library and teaching-and-learning conferences, Benjes-Small has published widely on information literacy pedagogy, librarian–faculty partnerships, and the organizational structures that support effective teaching programs.
