HAYS, Kan. – Robyn Hartman, information and digital literacy librarian at Fort Hays State University’s Forsyth Library, has been accepted to attend the Librarians Active Learning Institute for the 2019 summer session.

Held at Dartmouth College, the institute provides librarians an opportunity to devote their attention to exploring evidence-based practices that advance student learning.

“I’m excited to be part of the Institute,” said Hartman. “My focus is on information and digital literacy. Incorporating active learning pedagogy into our teaching practices at Forsyth Library will help our students engage more deeply in this lifelong learning process.”

Hartman wrote several short essays related to her teaching experience, goals and collaborations with faculty as part of her application.

Hartman has a background in speech and theatre education and worked for the United States Army Intelligence Center of Excellence before arriving at Forsyth Library four years ago. She is the library liaison for the College of Education and teaches as an adjunct instructor for the Master of Liberal Studies. 

“I am looking forward to sharing the best practices and techniques I learn at LALI and collaborating with faculty across campus to integrate information literacy active learning into their curriculum,” said Hartman.
