Abstract
Information literacy scholars and leaders are calling for the decolonization of library instruction, knowing that our work helps to maintain colonial systems. While there is no checklist or road map to program decolonization, academic libraries and instruction teams must start the work anyway. This article shares the story of curriculum decolonization at Western Libraries, so far, including the decolonization ‘cycle’ we followed and our resulting six learning outcomes. Grounded in epistemic justice, our new curriculum prioritizes living beings over information, and uses a broad, inclusive definition of knowledge throughout. Librarians at Western University acknowledge that the first step in decolonization is making space for multiple ways of knowing and that white librarians have particular responsibilities within this work to decolonize their minds. While our curriculum is far from perfect, we invite other educators to use and adapt our learning outcomes, as well as the decolonization approach and reflection questions shared here.
Keywords:

Résumé
Les chercheuses.eurs et les responsables en sciences de la maîtrise de l'information appellent à la décolonisation de l'enseignement en bibliothéconomie, sachant que notre travail contribue à maintenir les systèmes coloniaux. Bien qu'il n'existe pas de liste de contrôle ou de feuille de route pour la décolonisation des cursus, les bibliothèques universitaires et les équipes pédagogiques doivent tout de même commencer le travail. Cet article présente l'historique de la décolonisation des programmes d'études dans les bibliothèques de l'Université Western, y compris le « cycle » de décolonisation que nous avons suivi et les six résultats d'apprentissage qui en découlent. Ancré dans la justice épistémique, notre nouveau curriculum donne la priorité aux êtres vivant.e.s plutôt qu'à l'information et utilise une définition large et inclusive du savoir. Les bibliothécaires de l'Université Western reconnaissent que la première étape de la décolonisation consiste à faire de la place à de multiples façons de savoir et que les bibliothécaires blanc.he.s ont des responsabilités particulières dans ce travail de décolonisation mentale. Bien que notre programme soit loin d'être parfait, nous invitons d'autres éducatrices.teurs à utiliser et à adapter nos résultats d'apprentissage, ainsi que l'approche de la décolonisation et les questions de réflexion partagées ici.
