What’s Grit Got to Do with It? New Approaches for IL Instruction.
Grit is defined as a mix of persistence and passion. It is a virtue often
attributed to academic and career success. Join us for a full exploration of
grit: its benefits, limitations, and applications for Information Literacy
Instruction.
