Abstract
Abstract Digital badges are an increasingly popular way to display learning achievements, both in higher education and in professional environments. Digital badges can be used to help deliver information literacy instruction in a scalable and sustainable way and can increase the effectiveness of reaching a large audience of students. This case study discusses the work of a solo business librarian who uses digital badges to reach first year business students in a foundational level course.
