  • The ultimate goal is to make information literacy an integral part of the academic curriculum, thus helping students to succeed not only during their years in college but also for their lifelong career choices.
  • discussion about librarian-faculty collaboration for developing information literacy skills among the students are considered briefly.
  • ACRL further describes information literacy as abilities to: a. Determine the extent of information needed b. Access the needed information effectively and efficiently c. Evaluate information and its sources critically d. Incorporate selected information into one’s knowledge base e. Use information effectively to accomplish a specific purpose f. Understand the economic, legal, and social issues surrounding the use of information, and access and use information ethically and legally.

  • That solution has two fundamental underpinnings: the first is that information literacy is an issue for every college and university; and the second is that librarians should occupy a position in attempts to define and achieve campus-wide information literacy.
  • While it is legitimate to use some of the information available on the web, students need to learn how to evaluate that information.
  • A study conducted by two researchers at the Manchester Metropolitan University in the United Kingdom found that 75% of the students surveyed used Google as their first port of call when locating information, with the university library catalogue used by only 10%.
  • In general, faculty members involved in the process were willing to collaborate with librarians who served as consultants, as instructors, and as team players in designing, teaching and implementing course assignmen
  • One particular model which has proven to be effective is course integrated instruction. With this model, librarians and teaching faculty co-design a course, and make sure that information literacy is incorporated in the course.
  • They not only sought to build short-term programmatic partnerships but more importantly, formal long-term working relationships with campus units, groups, departments and administrators.
  • “Integrating Literacy into the Liberal Arts College Curriculum.
  • launched a campaign to recruit faculty as partners in the process
  • took advantage of the liaison system already in place
  • Symposiums were organized for faculty and librarians to focus on assessment and science disciplines.
  • offered a workshop
  • More and more course-related or integrated instruction sessions have come to play a bigger role in making students more information literate.
  • Changing fee structures, student experience and access to digitized information on the internet, librarians have had to rethink their approach to teaching IL skills
  • McGuinness (2007) argues that librarians tend to act in a reactive manner to the needs of academics, rather than proactively to promote IL skills.
  • eads to ad hoc, short-term solutions designed only to address one or two issues.
  • dds that librarians should align their own goals of incorporating IL skills into the curriculum with the goals of academics and institutions to influence the power structures within institutions and help shape educational content.
  • highlights both the ambiguity around how IL should be taught, and the important role faculty awareness of IL and integration of library staff plays in integrating IL
  • unpack the “culture clash” between librarians and academics
  • cGuinness (2006) found that academics expected students to “learn by doing” through collaborative projects with peers and dissertation reports with occasional support from staff, without a clear sense of how students would develop critical and analytical IL skills
  • aculty also tended to believe that a student’s ability to gain IL skills were driven by the student’s own motivation, interests and innate abilities, rather than the quality and format of the available instructional opportunities
  • Multiple literacies, including digital, visual, textual, and technological, have now joined information literacy as crucial skills for this century”
  • These collaborative efforts have enabled librarians to encourage and support faculty in establishing learning priorities which will ensure that students be equipped with the competencies to become effective lifelong learners.
  • Only by establishing a successful partnership between librarians and faculty, can the goal of mastery of information literacy by students be accomplished.
  • The goal of librarian-faculty collaboration in integrating information literacy into the curriculum is to enable students to learn the skills and competencies needed for success during their life time
  • To make sure that everyone is able to become an educated, skilled, and information-literate person, librarians and faculty at institutions of higher education throughout the world will need to work together as partners to provide the education

    The Internet provides users an unprecedented ability to access almost any content they desire with the click of a button, but sometimes this convenience allows users to obtain material to which they do not have legal rights. While some stand by these actions as just and others view it as theft, the Internet has undoubtedly added a new dimension of difficulties to the protection of intellectual property.

  • Teacher: We Are Pawns in Someone Else’s Game
  • Schools market a product. It’s called education. It’s called reading and writing and math and social studies and science. It is called college and career readiness. But most importantly, it’s called hope and dreams. It is the future we market.
  • Or at least we used to. Nowadays, we’re forced to market high test scores and low suspension rates.

  • At the end of the day, public schools can be the saviors of a nation. As the only institution in America that routinely sees 50 million young people a day, we have a chance to redefine our future. But instead of leading the way, we have lost our way and our mission, once clear as a bright sunny day, has become muddied and incoherent. Business and politics have so polluted our ranks that it has become increasingly difficult to distinguish among educational, political and business leaders
  • We give lip service to what is best for kids, but operationally, we don’t follow through. We are not allowed to. If we did what was best for kids, we would enforce behavioral codes uniformly, restructure our secondary schools to create a relationship rich culture, reform funding structures to ensure equality in opportunity, build strong home school partnerships and reestablish the teaching profession as the expert in all matters educational.
  • Until we regain our leadership role, public education will continue to be bullied and dragged into the mud. Teachers’ unions at all levels must reinvent themselves as leaders in best practices, and until that occurs, they will continue to loose footing with both the public and legal infrastructures of our country. Education leaders have embraced the conversation about single data point testing, instead of fighting against the flawed logic driving it. In backroom conversations, we all talk about the absurdity of it, but in public view, we refuse to take the lead, instead ignoring common sense and the legions of evidence that undermine its credibility.

  • You can integrate digital skills into daily life. If you can shop online, you can teach online. You have a balanced attitude. Digital isn’t everything. You’re a teacher, not a techie. You’re open to using and trying new stuff. You can find digital tools, so can your kids. What matters is if they work. You’re a digital communicator. You can use email and social media with ease. You know the difference between things like a tweet and a DM. You know how to do a digital assessment. You’re a sound judge of the quality of information, apps, and tools. You understand and respect privacy. You treat personal data with the respect it deserves. You’re a digital citizen. You know how to behave online appropriately, legally, and in socially responsible ways. And you’ll pass it on to your pupils.
