Information Literacy Education In The Uk: Reflections On Perspectives And Practical Approaches Of Curricular Integration, Susie Andretta, Alison Pope, Geoff Walton
Information Literacy Education In The Uk: Reflections On Perspectives And Practical Approaches Of Curricular Integration, Susie Andretta, Alison Pope, Geoff Walton
Communications in Information Literacy
This paper has two main aims, to present the current position of information literacy education in UK-based academic institutions and to propose a strategy that ensures the integration of this phenomenon in learning and teaching institutional practices. The first part of the paper offers an insight into the perceptions of information literacy by exploring four distinct perspectives, including the institutional angle and the views associated with faculty staff, library staff and students. What transpires from the findings is that information literacy from an institutional perspective is dominated by the need to measure information skills within the context of information as …
Research Students In The Electronic Age: Impacts Of Changing Information Behavior On Information Literacy Needs, Kirsty Williamson, Vivienne Bernath, Steven Wright, Jen Sullivan
Research Students In The Electronic Age: Impacts Of Changing Information Behavior On Information Literacy Needs, Kirsty Williamson, Vivienne Bernath, Steven Wright, Jen Sullivan
Communications in Information Literacy
Because of the rapid uptake of information and communication technology (ICT), understanding the ways in which information seeking has changed over the past decade is crucial to gaining a picture of how information literacy needs may also be changing in the electronic age. This qualitative research took an interpretivist/ constructivist approach in examining the ways in which access to electronic information-seeking affects the information literacy needs of 15 research students in an Australian university setting. An ethnographic technique, the interview, was used for the data collection. Three particular areas, related to information seeking and use, were selected: (1) information source …

Active Learning With Interactive Whiteboards: A Literature Review And A Case Study For College Freshmen, Robert Schroeder
Active Learning With Interactive Whiteboards: A Literature Review And A Case Study For College Freshmen, Robert Schroeder
Communications in Information Literacy
A well-designed classroom that includes appropriate technology can inspire and support successful instructional design. Interactive whiteboards (IWBs), an example of this technology, have been adopted in Great Britain, primarily in primary and secondary schools. While the literature anecdotally suggests that there are benefits associated with using them in classroom instruction little has been written about their application and efficacy in higher education. The author describes an exercise designed for college freshman, and discusses the benefits of the group work and active assignments engendered by the IWB.

Instructional Outreach To High Schools: Should You Be Doing It?, Kenneth J. Burhanna
Instructional Outreach To High Schools: Should You Be Doing It?, Kenneth J. Burhanna
Communications in Information Literacy
Academic librarians have recognized the need for and the benefits of instructional outreach to high schools, but faced with budgetary challenges, increasing workloads, and other pressures, librarians sometimes struggle to determine if and how they can work with high schools. This paper will seek to provide practical direction in considering these questions. Using the library high school outreach program at Kent State University Informed Transitions as a sample case, this paper will share observations, discuss practical considerations, and offer recommendations that will serve to guide academic librarians in determining what role they can play in providing instructional outreach to local …

Exploring Strategies For Integrated Information Literacy: From "Academic Champions" To Institution-Wide Change, Claire Mcguinness
Exploring Strategies For Integrated Information Literacy: From "Academic Champions" To Institution-Wide Change, Claire Mcguinness
Communications in Information Literacy
In this paper, the author critically reviews the strategies that have been adopted by librarians to secure academic support for curriculum-integrated information literacy (IL) instruction, and questions whether the popular approach of targeting individual academics offers a suitable foundation for the establishment of long-term IL programs. The paper suggests that librarians should instead align their IL objectives with the overall academic mission of their institutions and seek out the means to effect a more wide-ranging change in the academic culture, where IL is recognized as a core educational value. Several strategies are suggested by which this aim may be achieved.

Information Literacy At Augustana: A Programmatic Approach, Nancy E. Goebel, Paul J. Neff
Information Literacy At Augustana: A Programmatic Approach, Nancy E. Goebel, Paul J. Neff
Communications in Information Literacy
Information literacy programs, and the factors that influence their development and structure, can vary significantly from institution to institution. Credit-bearing discipline-specific information literacy courses are a rare and valuable component of an undergraduate educational experience and form the basis of Augustana's information literacy program. This article provides an overview of the development, implementation, successes, and drawbacks of the credit-bearing discipline-specific information literacy courses at the Augustana Campus of the University of Alberta (Camrose, Alberta, Canada). Additional program components including Augustana's annual information literacy workshop, information literacy awards, information literacy DVD, and marketing/branding, are discussed.

Developing Students' Information And Research Skills Via Blackboard, Jacqui Weetman Dacosta, Becky Jones
Communications in Information Literacy
This paper summarizes work undertaken at De Montfort University (Leicester, UK) to develop students' information and research skills using the Blackboard Virtual Learning Environment. It outlines how a traditionally delivered and assessed program was reviewed and revised in order to produce a blended learning experience for students. The librarians involved undertook this project with students from the Faculty of Health and Life Sciences during March/April 2005, teaching two groups in parallel--one group using Blackboard and another using the traditional teaching method. Both groups were given a diagnostic evaluation to gauge their confidence levels with both information skills and using Blackboard, …
Typologies Of Homeless Youth, Orion Isis Gray
Typologies Of Homeless Youth, Orion Isis Gray
Anthós Journal (1990-1996)
This paper is a shortened version of Gray’s thesis.
Typologies of homeless youth help researchers and service providers understand who they are working with. However, most of the work on "homeless and runaway youth," as they are often referred to, does not take into account the subtypes within this vast population. Instead of taking such distinctions for granted, this paper focuses on them. The different sections of the paper define and examine these different subtypes. By the conclusion of the thesis, the reader should be able to form an educated opinion on the utility of some of the different typologies …
Structuring Skinner: Argument, Structure, And Metaphor In Verbal Behavior, Patrick Hamilton
Structuring Skinner: Argument, Structure, And Metaphor In Verbal Behavior, Patrick Hamilton
Anthós Journal (1990-1996)
Skinner’s purpose in Verbal Behavior is to make the study of behavior a science and thus to eliminate argument, rhetoric, and metaphor. But clearly Skinner has not completely eliminated argument, rhetoric, and metaphor from his study. This discussion of Skinner’s work demonstrates that these rhetorical and persuasive ways are tied into his "scientific" investigation of language and verbal behavior, and in many ways, it is these very methods that allow Skinner to create and describe his conception of verbal behavior, even as he claims to be eliminating and avoiding the use of these techniques. This analysis of Skinner's Verbal Behavior …
The Orchestration Of Nature's Writing Surfaces, Laurie M. O'Reilly
The Orchestration Of Nature's Writing Surfaces, Laurie M. O'Reilly
Anthós Journal (1990-1996)
This articles stretches Derrida’s notion of writing by positing that writing itself might be thought of as "that which can be read or interpreted." This breaks the absolute bond between writing and human handicraft and suggests new ways of understanding the way we interpret natural phenomena. This paper traces this concept through numerous natural phenomena and suggests that perhaps the limits of meaning might have more to do with the interpreter’s range of understanding when it comes to natural gestures and "writings." In the end writing comes to be understood as durative, or has having duration. In this interpretation comes …
