As generative AI reshapes how knowledge is created and shared, information literacy instruction must evolve—not just in content, but in relationships. This presentation explores how revising an information literacy course to incorporate AI transformed connections among students, librarians, faculty, and the broader campus community. Through a focused course revision example, this session demonstrates how centering relationships—rather than tools—can create more meaningful, community-engaged approaches to teaching information literacy in an AI-mediated landscape.
