NC-LITe, a meeting of academic librarians in North Carolina focusing on library instruction and instructional technology, meets at the end of the Spring and Fall semesters. On Friday, May 12th, ZSR hosted this group. Thirty attended the event, representing ten different institutions! The day began with coffee and conversation, followed by campus updates from each library. Amanda Foster gave an excellent keynote entitled “Neutral Point of View? Wikipedia Projects and Critical Information Literacy” in which she described “how librarians can use Wikipedia authoring projects as a strategy to incorporate critical information literacy learning outcomes.”

After Amanda’s presentation, there were four lightning talks followed by tours of Wake Downtown, lunch downtown, or lunch in Reynolda Village!

Thanks to everyone at ZSR who helped the RIS Team host this event! And special thanks to Kyle Denlinger and Meghan Webb for co-hosting, and Amanda Foster for delivering the keynote! Also thanks to Kathy Shields and Kaeley McMahan who helped set up the event and assist attendees traveling to lunch and Wake Downtown, and all the members of RIS who helped throughout the day! It was truly a team effort! Thanks to Dean Pyatt and Associate Dean Susan Smith for funding the event.

The next NC-LITe will be in December of 2017 and hosted by Guilford College.
