Virtual Reference Collection: Process Of Development And Maintenance In A Team Environment, Locke Morrisey Nov 2012

Virtual Reference Collection: Process Of Development And Maintenance In A Team Environment, Locke Morrisey

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

During the past year, the UC-Irvine Libraries has developed a web based virtual reference collection. This process brought together librarians representing multidisciplines to create a "ready reference-like" homepage to make available reference information by means of remote access. The issues of design, intellectual content and continuing evaluation and maintenance are discussed. This project was developed in the context of a team-based environment and the advantages and problems of teambuilding practices contributed to how the project evolved. The leadership and decisionmaking role of the UCI Libraries in mounting and providing such resources was enhanced in the academic community. Demonstration of the …

The Anchor, Volume 126.10: November 21, 2012, Hope College Nov 2012

The Anchor, Volume 126.10: November 21, 2012, Hope College

The Anchor: 2012

The Anchor began in 1887 and was first issued weekly in 1914. Covering national and campus news alike, Hope College’s student-run newspaper has grown over the years to encompass over two-dozen editors, reporters, and staff. For much of The Anchor's history, the latest issue was distributed across campus each Wednesday throughout the academic school year (with few exceptions). In recent years The Anchor moved to monthly print issues and a more frequently updated website. The Anchor is now published in print twice per academic semester. Occasionally, the volume and/or issue numbering is irregular.


Reconsidering The Relationship Between Generic And Situated Il Approaches: The Dreyfus Model Of Skill Acquisition In Formal Information Literacy Learning Environments, Part I, Robert Farrell Nov 2012

Reconsidering The Relationship Between Generic And Situated Il Approaches: The Dreyfus Model Of Skill Acquisition In Formal Information Literacy Learning Environments, Part I, Robert Farrell

Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal)

This is the first of two papers discussing the application of Berkeley phenomenologist Hubert Dreyfus’ five-stage model of skill acquisition to information literacy (IL) theory and practice. This paper will review and build on previous discussions of the relation between generic, conceptual, competency-based approaches to IL definition and instruction and what has come to be called “situated” approaches, arguing that both the generic and situated approaches to IL ought to find a place within a complex learning continuum. Dreyfus’ model depicts this continuum as one in which learners start out as novice rule-followers and then develop, over time and with …

The Role Of Information Dissemination In Attaining Food Security In Katsina State, Nigeria, Yusuf El-Ladan Ibrahim, Lawal Iro Sani

Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal)

This paper explores the values and usefulness of information dissemination as it affects food security in Nigeria, particularly in Katsina state. Information has been and would continue to play a vital role in any national development and growth. Agricultural information provision and dissemination is a must for every responsible government because it is only when farmer were informed, that they will be able to take a rational decision and produce enough to feed the state and the nation in general, consequently meeting the goal set by the MDG. Food security has been identified as the inability of a nation to …

The Use Of Icts And Audiovisual Resources In Developing Children’S Reading Habits In Nigeria, Uzoamaka Igwesi, J.N. Chimah, V. N. Nwachukwu

Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal)

This paper looks at the use of of Information and Communication Technologies, (ICTs), and audio-visual resources in developing children’s reading culture in Nigeria. It has been observed that most children in Nigeria have very poor reading culture as reading is not associated with pleasure. Developing reading culture in children has been identified as the foundation and the building block for life-long learning. This paper therefore tries to highlight the use of ICTs and audio-visual resources as veritable resources in associating reading with pleasure by encouraging children in learning how to learn, visual literacy, and associating reading with pleasure. The central …


Information Literacy Skills: A Survey Of The Transition Of Students From Secondary To University Education In Edo State, Nigeria, Christopher O. Ukpebor, Daniel Emojorho Nov 2012

Information Literacy Skills: A Survey Of The Transition Of Students From Secondary To University Education In Edo State, Nigeria, Christopher O. Ukpebor, Daniel Emojorho

Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal)

This is a survey of the entry-level information literacy skills of first year students. It is a step towards understanding the prior information literacy knowledge of first year students at the University of Benin, and has broader implications for how librarians understand readiness for library research as well as for the future development of information literacy programmes at the secondary school level. Lack of understanding of prior knowledge by university libraries is in itself a barrier to engaging students in the research process in their first year, as it may result in programs that do not inspire students. Methodology adopted …
