In 2023, Library and IT instructional staff at St. Olaf College (MN) began crafting a “literacies framework” to undergird their work. Definitions and learning outcomes were developed around areas such as information, data, media, and maker literacies. Shortly after this work began, the importance of connecting this framework to vocation became clear. This session will outline how the college is developing a literacies framework with various campus stakeholders over the course of this academic year, and vocational exploration has been explicitly infused into this framework to illustrate the various connections between students’ curricular/co-curricular work and their vocations.
