Badke 2008, Vol. 2, No. 1, pp. pp. 1 - 22 Abstract Purpose: While the need for comprehensive information literacy in today’s society is becoming increasingly apparent, and initiatives abound within local, regional, national and international educational venues, there is evidence that information literacy within higher education today is failing to meet its dual intentions of becoming credible within the academic community and pervasive within university programs. The goal of this paper is to present a more rigorous approach to information literacy as a credit-bearing discipline. Approach: Following a literature review, the paper will propose an educational rationale for information literacy as a discipline. Practical Implications: If a proper educational rationale can be determined for information literacy, this can become the basis for actual information literacy credit programming within institutions of higher education.

How Google Impacts The Way Students Think How Google Impacts The Way Students Think by Terry Heick It’s always revealing to watch learners research. When trying to understand complex questions often as part of multi-step projects, they often simply “Google it.” Why do people migrate? Where does inspiration come from? How do different cultures view humanity differently? Literally Google it. And you see knowledge as searchable, even though that’s not how it works. 1. Google is powerful, the result of a complicated algorithm that attempts to index human thought that has been digitally manifest. The result? 2. When students are looking for an “answer,” good fortune sees them arrive at whatever they think they’re looking for, where they can (hopefully) evaluate the quality and relevance of the information, cite their source, and be on their merry way. But with the cold logistics of software, having come what they were looking for, learners are left with the back-button, a link on the page they’re on, or a fresh browser tab. 3.
ACRL | Information Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education The Information Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education (originally approved in 2000) were rescinded by the ACRL Board of Directors on June 25, 2016, at the 2016 ALA Annual Conference in Orlando, Florida, which means they are no longer in force. This document (and the PDF) will remain on the website until July 1, 2017 to allow for the transition to the Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education. ACRL is developing resources to assist librarians in using the Framework.

LOEX Annual Conference A Librarian and a Hashtag: Embedded Virtually in a Classroom via Twitter Ellen Hampton Filgo (Baylor University) - Presentation (web) Tweeting in the classroom has started to take off, with some notable examples such as Monica Rankin's history class experiment at UT-Dallas and Cole W. Camplese's classroom backchannel at Penn State-University Park. Taking these experiments one step further, Dr. Gardner Campbell, Baylor University's Director of the Academy for Teaching and Learning and Associate Professor of Literature and Media in the Honors College, invited Ellen Filgo, Baylor Libraries' E-Learning Librarian to participate in his First Year Seminar's Twitter experiment by becoming the class' Twitter-based reference librarian.

INSTRUCTION 2.0: What are we actually doing? - This survey looks at Association of Research Libraries' (ARL) instruction websites to identify... - Communications in Information Literacy Publication: Communications in Information LiteracyAuthor: Bobish, GregDate published: January 1, 2010 Librarians have written about and discussed web/library 2.0 tools, but the current state of adoption of the tools on instruction websites is tentative at best. As more successful examples are shared in the literature and at conferences, and as the technology and understanding of the tools matures, they will move from being something intimidating to being simply another color in the instruction paint box. Library 2.0 is an idea that grew out of the concept of Web 2.0 as envisioned by Tim O'Reilly and others. The Web 2.0 concept is defined by such terms as "web-as-platform," "perpetual beta," and "architecture of participation," and can be considered an "attitude, not a technology" (O'Reilly, 2005, p. 1). The heart of Library 2.0 is usercentered change. New technologies should not be implemented just because they exist. 1. 2. 3. a. b. Limitations of Research * Is it there? Is it there?
7 resources for much-needed information literacy skills Fake information is everywhere online. After all, everyone has a Facebook friend who elicits eye rolls when he or she shares a sensational news article that is fake or from a heavily-biased site promoting an agenda. But can today’s students tell the difference between what is legitimate and what is false? The answer might surprise you. As today’s students grow up in a digital world, they must learn information literacy skills if they are to effectively evaluate information sources and become truly informed. Why is it critical? A BuzzFeed analysis found that in the last three months of the U.S. presidential campaign, the most-viewed fake election news stories on Facebook elicited more reader engagement than legitimate top stories from sources such as the Washington Post, the New York Times, and NBC News. Facebook was heavily criticized for what many deemed an inadequate attempt to remove fake news stories and false information from the site.
An Evaluation of Library Instruction Delivered to Engineering Students Using Streaming Video Jack M. Maness Engineering Reference and Instruction Librarian Gemmill Engineering Library University Libraries University of Colorado at Boulder Boulder, Coloradojack.maness@colorado.edu Abstract This paper evaluates the use of streaming video applications in the delivery of information literacy instruction to engineering students. Introduction CAETE is the distance education entity of the University of Colorado's College of Engineering and Applied Science. The lectures are recorded using Tegrity software, a program that captures the lecturer's desktop, physical image via a digital camera, and audio of the classroom (see www.tegrity.com). Literature Review The use of streaming video technology is not new in librarianship, and while a fairly extensive literature regarding its feasibility exists (cost, technical requirements, etc.), little has been written on its viability (how users perceive and use it) and efficacy (how well it imparts instructional content). Methods Results Conclusion
