Information+Literacy

Put links and files on this page that are related to learning about information literacy (what it is, other resources for learning about IL and so on.....)

DANNY AND FRAN (3-24-10): There is much more work to be done so that this bibliography is usable:
 * 1) go through Medeley list
 * 2) eleminate duplicates
 * 3) for each one that you entered, put you name as one of the tags (you'll see I did this for some of mine (I put Bunn as a tag)
 * 4) clean them up (I put notes for some of them that say NEEDS EDITING)
 * 5) think of other tags that would be useful (what categories of stuff do we have?)

__**From Dr. Bunn:**__ The University of Montevallo's Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) Committee is working to implement Information Literacy across the curriculum. This link takes you to their committee's webpage on UM website: []

Here is a bibliograpy of articles related to IL that was prepared by the committee:

__**From Carrvetta:**__ Here is a link that I found that provides a information skills rating scale and how to measure success: [] Here is another website that gives provides links to other information and websites on the topic: []

__**From Deanna:**__ Found Informational Literacy Tutorial on Wichita State University's Library. It takes you through the following steps: Starting research, choosing topics, using the catalog, finding articles, and using the web, and citing sources. []

__**From Brittany:**__ Here's a link on the subject from the University of Idaho's website(I think I'm doing this right. If not I'll try again : http://www.webs.uidaho.edu/info_literacy/

Also here is a pdf from the Association of College & Research Libraries on Information Literacy standards: __**From Fran:**__ Here follows the link to a video on You Tube about Information Literacy (IL). I found it interesting because the presenter talks about the concept of IL and the importance of knowing the authenticity of sources we choose among the huge amount of information available nowadays. Maybe students could watch it in class. [] Here follows a presentation I found on Google Scholar, made by Christine Bruce, an Associate Professor at Queensland University of Technology. She brings up some good questions to be reflected about IL. @http://www.bestlibrary.org/digital/files/bruce.pdf The next website, hosted by Otterbein College, OH, presents a handy chart with some key terms related to IL. It presents definitions of IL from different sources and also synonyms for this term. __[] __ What I liked the most in the following website was the “to find information X to have information” ( “A major element in Information Literacy is the ability to find information rather than to have information”) and the presentation of IL key terms in a cycle. __[] __ Here follows an article by the American Library Association (ALA) describing an information-literate student. __[|http://www.ala.org/ala/mgrps/divs/aasl/guidelinesandstandards/informationpower/InformationLiteracyStandards_final.pd f] __

__**From Brianne:**__ Here is a link to an information literacy quiz on Novemberlearning.com. [] This is a link to InformationLiteracy.com which has links to several articles about information literacy as well as lesson plans on how to teach information literacy (the lesson plans are targeted more toward libraries).
