Intercultural oral history interviewing as information literacy instruction method Sarah Steiner Hunter Library, Western Carolina University, Cullowhee, NC Oral history interviewing has the potential to serve as a dynamic method for information literacy instruction; it requires learners to practice active, non-judgmental listening and demonstrate proficiency in ACRL Framework concepts. This article describes a collaborative oral history interviewing assignment adaptable to a wide variety of disciplines and settings. It outlines the rationale for librarian involvement, offers a curriculum plan, and shares findings from the assignment’s use in a senior-level global cultures course. Pre- and post-assessment surveys show that students found the curriculum both challenging and rewarding, with many reporting growth in hard and soft skills. public services Quarterly 2025
