S.O.S. for Information Literacy Virtual Information Inquiry: Information Search Process (ISP) In the 1980s and early 1990s many information models were developed. The Information Search Process (ISP) by Carol Kuhlthau is unique because it is based on research specifically designed in this area. Studies from various disciplines, but particularly writing were used to support her model. Kuhlthau observed the reactions of students, examined strategies such as journaling, case studies, interviewing, and tracked student progress. The Information Search Process Model Carol Kuhlthau's library research process was published in her 1985 book Teaching the Library Research Process which was updated in 1994.

Rubrics - RAILS Rubrics are powerful tools for assessment. The RAILS project is intended to help librarians create and use rubrics for information literacy assessment. To this end, RAILS serves as clearinghouse for information literacy rubrics. Existing RAILS rubrics are grouped by topic and/or by creator and accessible using the navigation links on the right. Any of these rubrics can be modified and saved by librarians; librarians can also upload new rubrics. These rubrics have been submitted by volunteers and are not perfect. Questions?

Towards collaboration between information seeking and information retrieval Carol C. Kuhlthau Department of Library and Information Science School of Communication, Information and Library Studies Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey New Brunswick, New Jersey USA Abstract Introduction. Introduction: a developing framework for library and information science For many years researchers in library and information science have borrowed theory from other fields to provide insight into our research findings. An important contribution of the research reported at the ISIC conferences is the development of the user-centred approach. Four imperatives for building the conceptual framework The expansive field of library and information science incorporates the great traditions of librarianship, the insights of user studies, and the innovations of information retrieval and information systems. Stay with a problem long enough to verify findings and draw concepts from the findings. Stay with a problem to develop concepts Apply the conceptual framework of the field

The Similarity Report - Guides.turnitin.com Turnitin Feedback Studio has replaced Turnitin Classic. Your new guidance for viewing the Similarity Report in Turnitin Feedback Studio can be found here. The Similarity Report provides a summary of matching or similar areas of text found in a submitted paper. When a Similarity Report is available to be viewed an icon is placed in the Similarity column of the student class portfolio page. Similarity Reports that have not finished generating will display the text processing within the Similarity column of the student class portfolio page. Note: Overwritten or resubmitted papers may not generate a new Similarity Report for a full twenty-four hours. The paper shown in the Similarity Report is fully formatted and contains any images and graphs included in the original document. How is My Paper Checked? The comparison document is called a Similarity Report. Similarity Report Availability Interpreting the Similarity Report Turnitin does not check for plagiarism in a piece of work. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5a.

When the visual information-seeking mantra fails | Semantic Werks Ben Shneiderman proposed, a while ago, a visual information-seeking mantra: Overview first, then zoom and filter, and finally, details on demand. This mantra works really well for focusing effort on most visualization applications. For example, when looking at a map, typically we need an overview of the area, then the ability to zoom in, possibly filtering out things like road numbers. But I don’t think this mantra holds up well in other categories of information visualization, or more generally, cognitive support. I talked about similar ideas in my paper on ontology visualization. In summary, I think Sheiderman really intended for his mantra to capture commonalities among existing visualization tools. Like this: Like Loading...

The Difference Between Copyright Infringement and Plagiarism Eight years ago (nearly to the day), shortly after the launch of the site, I wrote an article entitled “Copyright Infringement, Plagiarism and Fair Use“. However, the age is beginning to show on the article (both literally and figuratively) and I decided to come back to the topic with fresh eyes. The reason is that this is a site that deals with both plagiarism and copyright issues on the Internet, specifically, the intersection between the two. This site was founded as a resource for detecting plagiarism of copyrighted works and stopping it, generally using copyright law. However, to complete that mission, it is important to understand the differences and similarities between plagiarism and copyright infringement. So, without any further ado, here’s a brief look at copyright infringement, plagiarism, their similarities and their differences. Defining Copyright Infringement Copyright infringement is simply any infringement up on the rights of a copyright holder. Defining Plagiarism
