Information literacy is the key to a successful technology initiative. By moving past technology to literacy, we are able to mobilize a greater proportion of our teachers to make frequent use of the network and are able to achieve more impressive student achievement. The visitors to the high school are shown lab after lab with shining new computers. They peek into other classrooms and note 5-6 more computers at the back of each room. This school is wired! Every computer is networked to the World Wide Web. But something is missing. Something troubles the visitors.

Information Literacy AN ASSESSMENT PLAN FOR INFORMATION LITERACY Assessment Planning Committee Indiana University Bloomington Libraries May 1, 1996 (Final) TABLE OF CONTENTS FOR THIS DOCUMENT Introduction Assumptions Definition, Goals, and Objectives Basic Information Literacy ... Measurement Techniques At Indiana University Bloomington, assessment refers to research and inquiry into the improvement of teaching and learning. Assessment is a process in which goals and learning objectives of a program or course are identified and data are collected from multiple sources to document student, teacher, or program achievement of those goals and objectives. Multiple variations are possible: pre-test, post-test of students in a course or major; focus on faculty teaching styles; assessment of subject matter, learning or critical thinking skills; review of departmental goals and objectives, or other creative efforts generated by faculty or departments.

92. Information Literacy When considering information literacy, it is necessary to understand the shifts These activities span the curriculum and encourage higherorder thinking http://www.ri.net/RITTI_Fellows/Barton/infolit.html

Information Literacy: Learning How to Learn The University of Rhode Island The Rhode Island Foundation Teachers in Technology Inititative RITTI Fellows Research Holly Barton Why do we send children to school? Is it to implant certain facts, figures, and formulas into their heads to make students ready to enter the world? Do textbooks contain all information important and relevant for a student to survive in today’s marketplace? Can the curriculum touch upon all of the topics that a student needs to know to be an effective member of society? Can educators provide all the information important for students to know so they can become contributing members of society? Learning doesn’t stop at the school steps and it continues throughout life. To prepare students for the world, we must teach them how to learn. Perhaps the most valuable skill we can give children during their formal school years is the ability to use information to construct knowledge Through the advances made through technology, the walls of the classroom and the library have expanded to include the entire world. Technology gives us physical access to a wealth of information. However, the information housed on servers throughout the globe and in software and print resources is so abundant that finding what they need is a daunting task. Students must possess information literacy to put the information to good use.

WAAL Information Literacy Committee COMMITTEE PROCESS AND ACTIVITIES Stage One - Drafting Competencies May 1996 At the LOEX conference in Ypsilanti Michigan, several Wisconsin librarians explore the possibility of creating statewide standards for information literacy in higher education. Support for this process is sought from the Wisconsin Association of Academic Librarians (WAAL), the Wisconsin ACRL chapter. January 1997 WAAL provides funding and establishes the Ad Hoc Committee to Create Information Literacy Competencies and Criteria for Academic Libraries in Wisconsin. The committee is charged with updating the WAAL Minimum Library Use Skills: Standards, Tests and Bibliography (2nd edition, 1989) and creating information literacy outcomes and criteria for academic institutions in Wisconsin, which may be used to support development and funding of information literacy programs at state and institutional levels. Spring 1997 The Committee surveys the academic library instruction community and compiles examples of similar documents from other states and institutions nationwide.
