Library Sidekicks: Training Student Employees as Peer Instructors How do you make strong information literacy specialists out of your student assistants? Let them teach! Let them teach through training, orientation, reference and research. Help them build the tools to succeed by becoming the information leaders to their fellow students. Relating the strengths and interests of your student employees to their work assignments can be beneficial not just to the students, but also to the professional staff and patrons with whom they work. Participants are invited to learn about our different programs and how we empower our student workers to lead the discussion on information literacy.
