ITC: 102 - Teaching Information Literacy in Your Classroom

Scholarship is a conversation. At each instance, where it is a journal article, a class essay, or a conference presentation, we are contributing and extending the conversation. Too often students launch in a monologue rather than a discussion. They often present what they "know" without acknowledging those who contributed to their knowledge. Information literacy stresses the importance that scholarship is about dialogue. his means that we need to be teaching information literacy in every class. According to the Association of Colleges and Research Libraries (ACRL), "Information literacy is the set of integrated abilities encompassing the reflective discovery of information, the understanding of how information is produced and valued, and the use of information in creating new knowledge and participating ethically in communities of learning." This episode will take a closer look at the ACRL Framework for Information Literacy. Specifically, we will examine each of the six frames and discuss strategies for incorporating information literacy in your classroom. Come learn more.
