  15. The Big 6 Model • Task definition • Information seeking strategies • Location and access • Use of Information • Synthesis • Evaluation

  16. IFLA’s Empowering 8 Model • Identify • Explore • Select • Organize • Create • Present • Assess • Apply

  17. IL and other literacy • Visual literacy • Media literacy • Computer literacy • Digital literacy • Network literacy

  18. Visual literacy • “to understand and use images, including the ability to think, learn and express oneself in terms of images” [Braden & Hortin, 1982] • Ability to understand and use visual images in our daily lives

  21. Digital literacy • The ability to understand and use information in multiple formats from a wide range of sources when it is presented via computers or other digital technology as cellphones

  22. Network literacy • An understanding of the systems by which networked information is generated, managed and made available

  23. Information Literacy Standards • Focus on implementing concepts of IL across the curriculum • Competency standards that include performance indicators and outcomes based on the acknowledged definition of being information literate, i.e. • ACRL’s Information Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education • AASL’s Information Literacy Standards for Student Learning

  24. Information Literacy Instruction (ILI) • Stand alone courses or classes • Online tutorials • Workbooks • Course-related instruction • Course-integrated instruction

  25. IL from the Library

  26. Online tutorials

  27. Guides and how to’s

  28. Guides to citing sources

  29. Typical modules of instruction that meet ACRL Competency Standards • Choosing and deciding on a topic • Identification of different types of information sources • Use of Online Catalog (tutorials on how to use OPAC) • How to search databases to find articles • Keyword vs. controlled vocabulary searching • Complex search instructions • Acknowledging and Citing sources properly • Internet search engines (Google NOT!) • Evaluating information sources • What is plagiarism?

  30. No more “one shot” ILI classes • Provide for a variety of approaches to delivering ILI • Make use of web-based resources that are accessible 24/7 • Develop free standing IL courses that covers multiple sessions for in-depth exploration and learning

  31. Web 2.0andLibrary 2.0

  32. WEB 2.0 • the network as platform • software as a continually-updated service that gets better the more people use it • Thrives on the "architecture of participation" -- [Tim O’Reilly 2006]

  33. WEB 2.0 • “The phrase Web 2.0 was created by O'Reilly Media to refer to a supposed second generation of Internet-based services that let people collaborate and share information online in a new way—such as social networking sites, wikis, communication tools, and folksonomies…” [Wikipedia 2006]

  34. Web 2.0 tools • Blogs • RSS feeds • Wikis • Podcasts and podcasting • Social bookmarking • Social networking • Tagging

  35. Blogs • Short for web log • an online journal where information (not only text, but also audio, photographs and video) is posted on a regular basis and appears in chronological order • Way to share one’s thoughts to the world

  36. RSS feeds • Stands for Really Simple Syndication • Provides the glue that links us to the content we want to read • "feed," "web feed," or "channel," containing either a summary of content from an associated web site or the full text • often used by bloggers to alert users to new postings

  37. wikis • type of website that allows collaborative creating, editing and storage of content by a group of users • ideal for specific projects and collaborative knowledge sharing, especially if group members are in more than one location • Wikipedia – most well known wiki; free online encyclopedia

  38. Podcasts • Derived from the terms iPod and broadcast • a collection of digital media files distributed over the Internet, often using syndication feeds, for playback on portable media players and personal computers

  39. Social bookmarking • a method for Internet users to store, organize, search, and manage bookmarks of web pages with the help of metadata – [wikipedia] • Can be both public and private • Del.icio.us, CiteULike, SlideShare

  40. Social networks • metaphor to connote complex sets of relationships between members of social systems at all scales, from interpersonal to international – [wikipedia] • MySpace, MyMultiply, Friendster, Ning, Facebook, YouTube, Flickr, LibraryThing

  41. Library 2.0 in the framework of Web 2.0 • Making use of web 2.0 tools to market and promote library services • Give emphasis on user control, radical trust, flexibility and user autonomy • Work on real time and asynchronous communication • Use social networking sites and multi-media application

  42. Library 2.0 • incorporating aspects of Web 2.0 into the library’s service delivery models • making the library’s space (virtual and physical) more interactive, collaborative, and driven by community needs. • The basic drive is to get people back into the library by making the library relevant to what they want and need in their daily lives [Cohen 2006]

  43. Library 2.0 is about… • Creating experiences for users • Providing a meeting place • Being human – understanding users and getting closer to the user • User generated content • Radical trust • Recognizing staff competence • Community of users and staff

  45. Library 2.0 tools: blogs • Help to develop writing skills, encourage creation of communities and reflections • Can be used in teaching with student contents being collected into the teachers aggregators • Keeping a blog as a way of recording progress and managing time • Can be used to build up evidence and gather opinions from peers or instructors
