Study Profiles the Efforts of 12 Colleges to Instruct Students in the Use of Online Resources: Revision 1

Nisam uspjela e-mailom, pa sam samo iskopirala poruku koju nam je proslijedila Iva. Ovo bi moglo biti dobro mjesto za slanje takvih poruka. Da li i obavijesti o e-izvorima proslijeđivati ovdje ili u Webloge odgovarajućih workspacesa? Morali bi malo pročavrljati, probati, pa vidjeti jel nam to pomaže ili zbunjuje....

No, evo poruke:

to je ona studija sto mi se cinila korisnom.

Primary Research Group has published a new edition of TRAINING COLLEGE
STUDENTS IN INFORMATION LITERACY, the 2006-07 Edition (ISBN-1-57440- 081-9)
The report profiles the information literacy efforts of a broad range of
North American colleges including: Syracuse University, the University of
North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the University of Windsor, Ulster County
Community College, the University of North Texas, the University of
California Berkeley, the University of Southern California at Los Angeles,
the University of North Carolina Wilmington, Southeastern Oklahoma
University, Central Connecticut State University and Seattle Pacific
University.

Participants discuss how they promote information literacy at their
institutions, how they win support of key faculty and administrators, and
how they develop courses, guidelines, tutorials and standards. Other major
issues include student assessment, instructor training, integration of info
literacy into other curriculums, grants and institutional financial
support, the impact of new educational technologies, and the role of
learning and computer centers in supporting the info literacy effort, among
other issues.

Indiana University library officials discuss info literacy efforts for
specialized populations, such as athletes, while librarians at the
University of California, Berkeley explain their grant funded information
literacy outreach program that reaches all corners of the University.

University of North Texas librarians relate how they are developing special
classrooms to ready themselves for the likely move towards more formal
information literacy classes, while faculty at Ulster County Community
College explain how the college developed a required information literacy
course that is delivered through traditional means and through the
college\222s distance learning program.

Instructional library faculty at North Carolina State Wilmington explain
the political process of getting a required information literacy course
approved at their university, while Seattle Pacific University librarians
discuss the challenges of student assessment.

As North American colleges move towards mandated information literacy
courses, this study can help information literacy coordinators to reduce
the time and effort involved in developing courses and tutorials, and
assist them in dealing with in-house politics and in finding useful
institutional models and best practices.
