Information Literacy 707 (1)

On Tuesday in the class I have learned a lot about literacy Information. the different concepts or terms like "Bibliographic instruction", "Information literacy", "user education", library instruction all these  terms have been used before, which describe the teaching in the library. Bibliographic instruction is used as teaching of the patrons, how to use the library, as the time goes on the collection in the library becomes more.

Information Literacy and Higher Education

Developing lifelong learners is central to the mission of higher education institutions. By ensuring that individuals have the intellectual abilities of reasoning and critical thinking, and by helping them construct a framework for learning how to learn, colleges and universities provide the foundation for continued growth throughout their careers, as well as in their roles as informed citizens and members of communities. Information literacy is a key component of, and contributor to, lifelong learning. Information literacy competency extends learning beyond formal classroom settings and provides practice with self-directed investigations as individuals move into internships, first professional positions, and increasing responsibilities in all arenas of life. Because information literacy augments students’ competency with evaluating, managing, and using information, it is now considered by several regional and discipline-based accreditation associations as a key outcome for college students

the ACRL which is responsible for designing the framework for all the libraries in High education. that is the (Association Colleges Research Libraries )
.the past decade there was a transition between Bibliographic Instruction and Information Literature the problem was the librarians who wanted to focus on teaching the problem solving skills and those who wanted to focus on general access skills. There was a lot of librarian who advocate that the library must be an education centre and the librarian must be educators. some librarians stress that the must be cooperation between the faculty and the librarian.

• During the 21st century things change because of the technology every collection was digitalised there was a necessity to teach the student how to search for the online information. searching the database for journals , newspaper, magazine, eBooks etc.

• This blog is much interesting because Amy is doing the what the librarian should be doing organising workshop for students using space that they have at the library.
• I am going to participate to this course with my colleagues in the class. our participation will be brainstorming ideas that we can do.
• Since I am working in public library the literacy information is good by teaching patron how to use a computer. There are lot of patrons who can use the computer, by closing that gap between the  Y generation and X generation the library can improve.
