    http://informationr.net/ir/3-1/paper24.html
    
    Extractions: Seattle, Washington, USA Abstract UWired is a collaborative effort at the University of Washington to bring electronic communications and information technology into the service of teaching and learning. This paper addresses the role that librarians have played in transforming undergraduate courses, pedagogy, facilities design, and faculty development to bring information literacy into departmental curricula. As research and teaching increasingly rely on global networks for the creation, storage and dissemination of knowledge, the need to educate information-literate students has become more widely recognized. Students often lack the skills necessary to succeed in this rapidly changing environment, and faculty need training and support to make use of new technologies for effective teaching and learning. The current environment provides an opportunity for librarians to play a key role in the evolution of an integrated information literacy curriculum, in contrast to past efforts which were sporadic and rarely programmatically based.

    Extractions: Information Literacy Blog Understanding Information Literacy by Barbara Humes Introduction We are outfitting our schools, libraries, and homes with electronic technologiesbut are we preparing our students and teachers for the onslaught of information that is provided by these technologies? What happens when the student can get more information from the Internet than previously conveyed by a teacher or a textbook? What should a student do when faced with so many informational possibilities? Which of the information is credible and which is not? With the provision of so much more information, and therefore more misinformation, everyonewhether they are in the education system or notmust have not only reading skills and computer skills but information skills, too. What is Information Literacy? The term information literacy, sometimes referred to as information competency, is generally defined as the ability to access, evaluate, organize, and use information from a variety of sources. Being information literate requires knowing how to clearly define a subject or area of investigation; select the appropriate terminology that expresses the concept or subject under investigation; formulate a search strategy that takes into consideration different sources of information and the variable ways that information is organized; analyze the data collected for value, relevancy, quality, and suitability; and subsequently turn information into knowledge (ALA 1989). This involves a deeper understanding of how and where to find information, the ability to judge whether that information is meaningful, and ultimately, how best that information can be incorporated to address the problem or issue at hand.

    Extractions: Beyond the basic skills of reading, writing, and arithmetic, the citizen/worker of the twenty-first century needs complex analytical skills. The technological tools of the Information Agecomputer networks, telecommunications systems, and databaseshave put an unprecedented volume of information at our fingertips. Yet how aware are we of what is available, when to use it, and how to find out about it? Education systems and institutions must take seriously the challenges of the Information Age. This includes restructuring the learning process to reflect the use of information in the real world, changing the role of the teacher from presenter of prefabricated facts to facilitator of active learning, and including the library/media specialist as a collaborator in curriculum planning for effective use of information resources. INFORMATION LITERACY For many years educators have heard about a variety of literaciesprint, visual, computational, cultural, computer, scientificand their importance in every child's education. Each of the literacies prescribes a process by which the learner can more easily negotiate the content unique to a particular area of study. Each of the literacies operates in isolation of the others, and each has its own vocabulary and conventions for study. Information literacy, on the other hand, is a potential tool of empowerment for all learners, reached through a "resource-based" learning approach.

The Web offers an engaging and challenging atmosphere where students can hone their information literacy and problem-solving skills. When integrated effectively, the Internet makes the development of these skills more relevant to students by anchoring learning tasks in meaningful, authentic, and highly visual contexts. It also can teach students how to work together to solve problems through group-based, cooperative learning activities. And, for the most part, the wealth of information on the Net is free. In this course, you will explore how teachers and students around the world are using the Internet in the classroom to enhance student learning. You will learn to locate the exact information that you want, to recognize information that is of the highest quality and reliability, and to apply the information effectively in your lesson plans.

Libraries of all types are leveraging their investments in technology to generate additional support for programs and services that support an information literate populace. Increased public awareness of the importance of these resources provides an opportunity to build on established programs and makes the case for expanded library support in the information age. As information professionals, librarians have the opportunity and responsibility to educate community leaders and the public about the expanded role of libraries. The American Library Association provides leadership and support in the form of professional education, legislative advocacy, demonstration projects, public awareness, and other activities. Public libraries that have invested in strong adult literacy programs have realized significant returns both in building a stronger user base and increased funding.
