Abstract
The Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) Framework for Information Literacy outlines six threshold concepts—abstract ideas that students must understand to succeed in a discipline. Threshold concepts are typically tackled in upper level courses in a student’s chosen discipline. Although information literacy is rarely the subject for a semester long course, its threshold concepts transcend and can enhance understanding in every discipline. Interactive activities can help make threshold concepts more concrete and attainable, and embedding these activities in upper level courses creates a critical connection between information literacy and discipline-specific threshold concepts. Examples of interactive activities and additional resources for class development suitable for all disciplines will be discussed, as well as how to adapt these activities from in-person to hybrid or all virtual settings. As professors across campus modify their upper level courses to address today’s situation we have a great opportunity to offer substantive and transformative information literacy classes while forming new or stronger partnerships with faculty and students throughout the university.
