Contact Information University of Washington Information Literacy Learning ( u will An Approach for the 21st Century The workplace of the present and future demands a new kind of worker. In a global marketplace, data is dispatched in picoseconds and gigabits, and this deluge of information must be sorted, evaluated, and applied. When confronted by such an overload of information, most workers today tend to take the first or most easily accessed information—without any concern for the quality of that information. As a result, such poorly trained workers are costing businesses billions of dollars annually in low productivity, accidents, absenteeism, and poor product quality. There is no question about it: for today’s and tomorrow’s workers, the workplace is going through cataclysmic changes that very few will be prepared to participate in successfully and productively unless they are information literate.

43. LIRT NEWS: December 1999 Teaching Information Literacy Skills, by Patricia Iannuzzi, with ideas forincorporating 116 information literacy activities into their classes. http://www3.baylor.edu/LIRT/lirtnews/1999/dbreview.html

BOOK REVIEW Teaching Information Literacy Skills By Deleyne Wentz, delwen@cc.usu.edu Teaching Information Literacy Skills Information literacy, by definition, is something that should be actively learned. ALA defines an information literate person as one who is able to recognize when information is needed and have the ability to locate, evaluate, and use effectively the needed information. This book provides school and college librarians with ideas for incorporating 116 information literacy activities into their classes. The introduction offers tables that relate the activities to the components of the American Association of School Librarians information literacy curriculum delineated in the Appendix. Instead of lecturing, librarians can use these exercises to introduce a topic, have the students work through an activity, and then engage them in discussion. A 20-minute, self-administered student assessment on the accompanying computer disk (Windows version only) will assist librarians in knowing which skills to teach. There is a limit of five administrations for the trial disk, but disks are available for purchase in both Windows and Macintosh formats which can be used on one computer ($99.95); up to five computers ($199.95); or up to thirty computers ($499.95). All three authors hail from Florida. Patricia Iannuzzi is head of the Reference Department and co-director of the Information Literacy Initiative at Florida International University Libraries. Also at F.I.U., Stephen S. Strichart is a professor of special education and learning disabilities. Charles Mangrum is a professor of special education and reading at the University of Miami, Coral Gables, Florida. These three authors have collaborated previously to produce the following titles:

Academic Exchange Quarterly Spring 2004: Volume 8, Issue 1 An Information Literacy Umbrella for Instruction Wm. Joseph Thomas, East Carolina University Carolyn N. Willis, East Carolina University William Joseph Thomas is an Instruction and Reference Librarian at Joyner Library, East Carolina University, in Greenville, NC. Carolyn N. Willis is a Reference Librarian and Interim Coordinator of Instructional Services at Joyner Library, East Carolina University, in Greenville, NC. Abstract Instructional activities at Joyner Library, East Carolina University , currently include course-integrated instruction, online tutorial use, class web pages, research consultations, a customizable subject guide database, and a writing contest. These instructional activities can be more usefully planned and evaluated with proper program building. With an improved planning process, an “Information Literacy umbrella” will also allow the instruction librarians to target certain student groups more effectively, specifically incoming first-year students, distance education students, and students who are participating in a new 3-year-to-degree program.

Information Literacy for K-16 Settings Purpose of the Site Overview Step1: Task Definition Step2: Information Seeking Strategies ... Lessons Purpose of this Site: Today's educators and K-12 students need to be information literate: to be able to locate, evaluate, use and share information. California State University notes several specific reasons for students to be information literate: * So they can successfully navigate through proliferating information resources * To improve their quality of education * To learn additional tools to reinforce course content * To enhance lifelong learning. The American Association of School Librarians (AASL) has established information literacy standards for K-12 students, which are aligned with the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) information literacy competency standards for higher education. Thus, undergraduate students and teacher candidates need to learn the ACRL information literacy competencies in order to succeed in college, as well as design curriculum that insures that their own future K-12 students meet information literacy standards as defined by AASL. California State University Long Beach has developed a series of learning experiences that help students and teachers incorporate information literacy into the library media program and collaborate with classroom teachers to infuse information literacy across the curriculum. Library Media Teacher Services Credential Program Coordinator Dr. Farmer and University Librarians John D'Amicantonio and Tiffini Travis developed this Web site to provide Web sites and other resources on information literacy and supportive lesson plans. All book titles are located at CSULB's library. The main part of the Web site is comprised of seven modules: an overview, followed by each of the Big6 research steps.

Teaching Information Literacy: The Big Six Skills Approach to Information Problem Solving As schools prepare students for citizenship in an Age of Information, information problem-solving skills become paramount. Students must learn to make meaning from the complex and mountainous arrays of data easily available through countless sources. Bellingham Public Schools, 1997) 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 Age-computer networks, telecommunications systems, and databases-have 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? Association for Curriculum and Development, 1993 What is Information Literacy? With the explosion of information now available on the Internet, students must become information literate.

Academic Exchange Quarterly Fall 2003: Volume 7, Issue 3 A Collaborative Approach to Information Literacy in the Freshman Seminar Elizabeth Blakesley Lindsay, Washington State University Beth Lindsay is the Head of Library Instruction at Washington State University She also is an adjunct professor for the University of Maryland University College. In addition to her MLS, she holds an MA in comparative literature. Abstract This article discusses the collaboration between the Libraries and the Freshman Seminar Program at Washington State University Many goals related to information literacy competencies as defined by the library and higher education associations are met through this partnership. The librarians have an active role with the seminars and also take part in the peer facilitator training process. Introduction Anyone who has taught or participated in a library instruction session knows that teaching students research skills without a specific context is usually a waste of time. Without a particular assignment or project, students are not motivated to learn and often do not come away with a clear understanding of what resources the library can offer. Working with a freshman seminar over the course of a semester has been rewarding for the students, who have learned both concrete research skills and higher order critical thinking and information literacy skills, and also for the librarians. Playing a part in the training process for the undergraduate students who actually deliver the freshman seminar has been another successful venture.
