What is Information Literacy?
"To be information literate, a person must be able
to recognize when information is needed and
have the ability to locate, evaluate, and use
effectively the needed information."
The American Library Association’s (ALA) Presidential Committee on Information Literacy, Final Report, 1989

In the real world…
• The ability to solve problems & answer
questions using information & technology
• An understanding of the ethical/legal issues
surrounding the access and use of
information

Why does information
literacy matter?

Students are content creators

They need traditional & new
skills

To understand their need for
information
Image: 'Q & A 2.0: Nothing Is Off Limits!'

To find & evaluate reliable
information

To draw conclusions & present
information

To prepare
for post-
secondary
education
and

for the global
society &
economy
they will face.

And, because . . .
We limit students if we do not help them
develop and use information literacy skills
across the curriculum.

NEW WORLD: WEB 2.0,
CLASSROOM 2.0, & LIBRARY
2.0
How did we get here?

In the beginning of the Web
• Static Web sites
• Source of information/simple answers
• Limited media--photos & illustrations
• One-way communication
• Needed design & coding skills
• Needed proprietary software
• Access to a server

Web 1.0 Web 2.0
Read only Read/Write/Collaborate
Web as reading platform Web as publishing platform
Developer authorship Public authorship
Software applications Web as software platform
Commercial/Proprietary Open source/shared
Static Dynamic
Impersonal It knows you and your needs
Restricted collaboration Collaborative
Short Tail Long Tail
Official Releases Constantly versioning—Beta
HD as storage platform Web as storage platform
Lecture Conversation

Web 3.0
• Portable, personal web
• Personalized experiences—Web looks different
to each person?
• Technology driven
• Data driven
• Connected data

Classroom Was the World
• Teacher as authority in
all things
• Standardized curriculum

• Text
Google

In-depth use of technology?
Not so much
• Not efficient or effective searchers
• Little evaluation of what they find—don’t know
how to evaluate
• Application of technology limited to product
creation
• Not really using technology to solve/answer
problems

By developing research projects that
encourage 21st Century Learning skills
& promote Information Literacy
Creating assignments that encourage
building knowledge, not just repeating
information

Together, we can
• Improve your research project to
incorporate the 5 steps
• Learn Web 2.0 tools that work in
classrooms and school buildings for
collaboration, communication, & creation
• Share what we know & what we learn
