ExCITE! 2026 Library Methods: Information Literacy in Action

ExCITE! (Exchange, Create, Infuse, Transform, Energize) is a flexible, engaging, and personalized online professional development course designed for school librarians, classroom teachers, and other education professionals. This course modernizes professional learning by offering micro modules, allowing participants to choose their own learning path while earning professional development credit.

This year's course focuses on Information Literacy in Action, which brings the second strand of the South Dakota School Library Standards to life through practical applications in libraries and classrooms. Participants will earn digital badges for completing topic areas, and those completing 30 modules will develop a final project that applies their learning in a meaningful, real-world way.

The course is open June 1 - August 31, 2026, and can be taken for CECHs, Undergrad Credit, or Grad Credit.
