Kelsey Molseed

Kelsey Molseed, a research & instruction librarian at Randolph, presented a session at the Virginia Library Association’s annual conference on October 24.

Molseed presented “Wikipedia in the Library Classroom: Designing an Information Literacy Course around a Wikipedia-Editing Project.” The presentation was on an innovative project students complete for Randolph’s IST 141 “Library Research,” for which students edit Wikipedia articles to learn information literacy skills, rather than write a traditional paper.

IST 141 is offered every spring and is open to all students who want to know more about information literacy in the 21st century.
