This study discusses combining some key tenets of the information literacy
movement with core feminist principles and critical theoretical approaches, two
academic librarians created a course designed to explore the changing nature of
information and to explode the myth of its neutrality. Through discussion of
the development of the initial course proposal, the creation of the syllabus
and the structure of the class, a case is presented for altering (and
expanding) the role of the librarian in the classroom.
