The Roles of Information Literacy and Friends in the Academic Library

.

.

Information literacy is not just an academic concept, it is a way of life and alife skill that needs to be taught and incorporated into ones work, learningmethods and lifestyle. Academic libraries as major sources of knowledge andinformation sources and the tools to use them are critical places for teachinginformation literacy. It should be a major program in the academic library andthe library should have the facilities for this instruction including anadequate number of classrooms and lecture halls, a large number of computersfor user use and special break out rooms for specialized activities.

The teaching programs related to information literacy need to reflect andprovide coverage of not only information literacy, but also its "friends" as Irefer to them in the Information Literacy and Friends Research Guide.




http://guides.temple.edu/infolit

In this guide I cover these literacies and related skills that in my view are amajor part of the core curriculum of the academic library:




Media Literacy and News Literacy

Health Information Literacy

Science Literacy and Scientific Literacy

Mathematics Literacy

Digital Literacy

Computer Literacy

Technology Literacy

Financial and Consumer Literacy

Law Information Literacy, Legal Information Literacy

Music Literacy

Visual Literacy

Cultural Literacy

Quantitative Research

Qualitative Research

Evidence Based Research

There may be other literacies out there, but this is a solid core group tosurround and add to the skill based curriculum of information literacy. Inbasic English writing courses, the library instruction segment often includesinstruction about scholarly versus trade press versus popular sources. This isa very important part of this instruction and an aspect that needs to be afocus of instruction in the disciplines ongoing at both undergraduate andgraduate levels. It is not enough to just teach how to distinguish thedifferent levels of publication, however. It is also important to provideinstruction regarding what databases and internet based academic search enginesare to be used to find scholarly and peer reviewed publications that arerequired for the research work of college courses in the subject fieldsstudents are undertaking.

Indeed it is critical to not only make students aware of the core databases intheir subject fields, but also to teach them for various kinds of topics andresearch, how to effectively search these databases.

To be able to distinguish between scholarly and popular sources on a specifictopic, a student must first be able to find actual sources or publications onthe selected topic. Lack of basic searching skills lowers grades received onmany research assignments for a substantial number of students. How arestudents going to learn about media literacy, health literacy, or any otherliteracy or for that matter any research topic if they have less than primitivesearching skills to find publications about these topics? Hence an academiclibrary of the future must incorporate work with both faculty and students asextensively as possible to inculcate quality searching skills for a variety ofdatabase programs such as Google search tools, Summon, EBSCOHost, ProQuest,Ovid and so forth. Faculty should be provided with seminars or courses thatteach database searching skills as it is likely that the faculty theyencountered up to the dissertation level did little teaching in this area.Having as a store front the Writing Center of a university and the Teaching andLearning Center for faculty as part of the library can assist such teachingprograms. When these library inclusions provide teaching and learning skills tomesh with content provided by the library to faculty and students in researchand database searching skills, a more comprehensive training environment isprovided. Just as the faculty may have a teaching and learning center, thelibrary must become the active and program oriented teaching and learningcenter for students who will be provided, as needed, with instruction andlearning tools to fill the gaps in their research skills. Having theuniversity press as a part of the library will facilitate counseling andinstruction from these publishing professionals regarding how to get facultyresearch publishable and published to add to what they learn from the libraryregarding the research process.




Faculty Credentialing

http://guides.temple.edu/FacultyCredentialing

To create an information literacy resource center, the advanced academiclibrary must engage in some new initiatives.

Marketing of the information programs needs to be accomplished through thecollege news sources, the college radio station, and direct marketing at eventsto both faculty and students. Sports events could have information literacyhalf times with different focuses and topics covered at different games. Theprimary mission of a college is education. Would it not be novel for collegesto include education in sports events?

A museum should be created in the library that tells the story and history ofeach of the information literacies with viewers that show educational programson demand that are lively and informative and well as didactic. Exhibits canalso include artifacts from all eras, for each literacy, that demonstrate themethods of creating information literacy and its friends in different timeperiods. For example, a basic printing press could be one exhibit. Anothercould be a working microfilm Magazine Index or Newspaper Index from IAC if onecould be found. Videos that discuss various sources of differing quality andaccuracy that were published in the media about a specific controversial issuecould illustrate and teach media literacy principles.

With substantial thought and creativity, the academic library can add to itsroles as store house of information and the source of tools to find thatinformation. Providing a teaching center for the skills to do research andlearn from its resources for both the university community and very importantlyfor the people who live in the community surrounding the university as wellneeds to be a vital role of the university library. A well done informationliteracy museum alone should attract extensive national and perhapsinternational interest and visitation.

To assist with research on these various literacies and how they can be taughtand exposed in a library information literacy program, there are extensive linkcollections and bibliographies on these various literacies in my InformationLiteracy and Friends research guide.
