Session: Creation of Indigenous Information Literacy Pressbook (free ebook)

Description: Come chat with the author about the creation of the Indigenous Information Literacy Pressbook, a free ebook licensed and accessible for public use online. Rachel recently published the Indigenous Information Literacy video playlist in December 2020. After multiple requests for supplementary content, she wrote the Indigenous Information Literacy Pressbook. The book covers content such as finding Indigenous Voices, accessing Indigenous sources for credibility, working with Elders, as well as a component on Indigenous assessment. Come learn about the community consultation process involved in developing this resource and discuss how best to use this book in relation to your work.
