Abstract: I n the spring semester of 2012, the librarians at Mary Baldwin College began "flipping" our information literacy classrooms on a regular basis.In a flipped classroom much of the instruction takes place outside of class time, in the form of tutorials, readings, and quizzes.Actual class time consists of active learning activities in which students practice and develop what they've learned.As librarianinstructors we were able to experiment with flipping in multiple environments, including course-integrated instruction sessions and our own for-credit information literacy course.Flipping is not only an effective tool for information literacy instruction, it is also a lot of fun.In this article we describe what flipping entails, how we did it, and some advice for best practices.
