Abstract
In the article “Why Information Literacy is Invisible,” William Badke identifies “the university administration gap” as a barrier to wider institutional adoption of information literacy initiatives. Badke believes that information literacy is not a priority for most administrators, because it is an “alien” concept. Aligning information literacy initiatives with the priorities of the campus administration can help librarians to be more successful and overcome this gap. The roundtable discussion leader will provide a brief example of how she was able to bridge the administration gap in order to implement a research award for undergraduate students enrolled in a common intellectual experience course. Using the High-Impact Educational Practices as a framework, roundtable participants will individually and collectively brainstorm strategies to make the adoption of information literacy initiatives appealing to campus administration, as well as identifying potential partners.
