Abstract
The recent release of the 2013 Ithaka S+R Library Survey indicates deans/directors highly value library instruction, instructional design, and information literacy services, and will be supporting these efforts in the next five years by hiring more trained librarians. This contributed paper examines current efforts of LIS education to prepare librarians for the classroom and presents a case study for a new, more advanced opportunity to prepare for the classroom while advocating institutional learning goals.
