Providing an engaging experience for their students Gaining insight into this growing innovative technology trendDiscovering how librarians are using badges to enhance their teachingForming meaningful collaborations with faculty and teachersDeveloping knowledge about badge system design and badging platformsLearning how badges can motivate, support, and celebrate learning achievementsLaunching a badging project
The book is divided into two sections. The first section explores the environment in which badges are being developed, in particular situating them within the current educational setting, and provides guidelines on how best to create a badging program. The second section details contributing authors’ firsthand experiences creating, implementing, and refining digital badges and digital badging systems, in some cases collaborating with teachers and faculty. These chapters provide a wealth of ideas about using digital badges in academic and school libraries to engage and motivate students.

About the Author
Trudi Jacobson is the Head of the Information Literacy Department at the University at Albany, and holds the rank of Distinguished Librarian. She has been deeply involved with information literacy throughout her career, and thrives on finding new and engaging ways to teach students, both within courses and through less formal means. She has worked closely with Thomas Mackey for many years. Together, they originated the metaliteracy framework to emphasize the metacognitive learner as producer and participant in dynamic information environments. They co-authored the first article to define this model with Reframing Information Literacy as a Metaliteracy (C & RL, 2011) and followed that piece with their book Metaliteracy: Reinventing Information Literacy to Empower Learners (Neal-Schuman, 2014). They co-authored the essay “Proposing a Metaliteracy Model to Redefine Information Literacy” (2013) and co-edited their most recent book for ALA/Neal-Schuman entitled Metaliteracy in Practice (2016). She has also written extensively on other topics. She co-chaired the Association of College & Research Libraries Task Force that created the Information Literacy Framework for Higher Education. Trudi is a member of the Editorial Board of Communications in Information Literacy. She freelances as the acquisitions editor for Rowman & Littlefield’s Innovations in Information Literacy series. Trudi was the 2009 recipient of the Miriam Dudley Instruction Librarian Award. You can contact her at tjacobson@albany.edu
