There is little doubt of the importance of critical information literacy and the role of librarians, but many librarians are asking themselves, what should come next? Recently, academic, school, and public librarians have been working tirelessly to document, articulate and discuss, our progressively challenging role in cultivating social responsibilities within our communities and amongst our students, in order to frame the conversation for growth.
