2026 ALISE Annual Conference

As artificial intelligence reshapes how knowledge is produced and accessed, traditional approaches to information literacy are increasingly insufficient. This poster introduces an Algorithmic Literacy Framework that reframes AI literacy as a form of inquiry. The framework emphasizes interrogating AI across outputs, systems, and contexts, highlighting how algorithmic processes shape knowledge. Drawing on critical information literacy and instructional practice, it demonstrates how librarians can teach these skills through structured activities. This approach positions librarians as educators supporting critical engagement with AI-mediated information environments.
