information resources and information technology
as an integral part of their education. The
institution provides appropriate orientation and
training for use of these resources, as well as
instruction and support in information literacy
and information technology appropriate to the
degree level and field of study.

realizing the increasing importance of library
information resources in K-12 education - Phrase coined in 1980s, officially attributed to
ALAs Presidential Committee on Information
Literacy (tautological origin) in 1989

Information Literacy Past
- B.I. Bibliographic Instruction
- a.k.a.
- Course-related Instruction
- a.k.a. (by librarians)
- One-hour shot
- Research skills focus
- Began with instruction in using catalog, indexes
- Evolved into using librarys electronic research
tools
10
Information Literacy Past
- Librarys responsibility
- Departmental faculty participation voluntary,
sporadic and idiosyncratic (based on fields
needs sometimes) - A few credit-bearing research courses, most
elective, a few required
11
I.L. Present Examples
- ACRLs Web site provides links
- Technology-focused
- UWired _at_ University of Washington
- Research skills-focused
- Florida International University
- UCal-Berkeley (Teaching Library)
- More integrated technology AND research/critical
thinking - Associated Colleges of the South (ACS)
Information Fluency Project
12
Information Literacy Present
- Some credit-bearing courses, some required
- Some requirements in General Education programs

Information Literacy Present
- WHY INTEGRATE
- Students unawareness of effects/use of
information in their lives - Seamless access (DBs look like Web) results in
inability to differentiate information
types/value - To keep current Use (ergo,
- misuse) of information in
- YOUR field is constantly
- changing
15
Information Literacy Future
- Presentations on program today (excellent!)
- Not your grandfathers library skills
- Invisible on campuswhen something is everywhere
no one sees it - Not product-oriented lifelong learning skills
hard to box
16
Creating Invisible I.L.
- Communication is THE key
- Both departmental faculty and librarians take
cause to administration - Keep goal in mind I.L. develops habits of mind
17
Informations Future I.L. Future
- I.T. future almost impossible to predict
- There are a few giant visible leaps (e.g.,
vacations to moon) - There are more almost invisible little steps with
large repercussions - Cell phones (!!)
- Many connected ALWAYS
- Advances in iPod So what???
18
I. L. Future Some Thoughts
- Your students
- Dont know a world without remotes (and other
things on the Beloit list) - Use their cell phones to get news or
- Daily Show brings their news (started in 1996) do
they recognize whats being satirized? - Verizon buys Vonnage (media megalopolies)
- 1.7 million articles on Wikipedia
- lt 50M blogs worldwide in April 2005
19
Information Literacy Future
- I.L. teaching how to use technology will always
continue but will be less important - I.L. teaching how to think will grow
- Whats good information (and
- whats bad)?
- How does information influence
- your life (and can you
- control that)?
