Georgia International Conference on Information Literacy
February 6-7, 2026
Savannah, Georgia
The Georgia International Conference on Information Literacy (GICOIL) invites all K-12 and higher education faculty and staff, librarians, media professionals, writing instructors, teachers, and graduate students to join us for the opportunity to share research and best methods for teaching and learning information literacy!
The conference allows participants to engage one another and discover how to apply crucial information literacy skills in their own settings through peer-reviewed presentations, workshops, and poster presentations.
Presenters for the Georgia International Conference on Information Literacy are invited to upload their presentation materials to the site to preserve their research. The invitation is open for presentation materials from any year of the conference.
GICOIL 2026 Keynote Speaker: Matthew Boedy
President of the Georgia Conference of the American Association of University Professors and Professor of Rhetoric and Composition, University of North Georgia, Department of English
“Academic Freedom Has Died, Resurrection Is Up To You”
Academic freedom has always been an ideal in higher education. Wrapped in policy but not law, it was a claim based in our history for the special, protected status of the work of professors. That is no longer our context. The war against higher education has made all work by professors and all people working in information literacy not merely open to public scrutiny but often unprotected from political action. How might we go forward in this new world being created before our eyes? The only way out is through. My keynote will try to set a path.
This conference is offered in partnership with:
