Foundations of Information Literacy
Author: Natalie Greene Taylor
Publisher: American Library Association
ISBN: 0838938124
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 260
Book Description
It’s not hyperbole to conclude that in today’s world, information literacy is essential for survival and success; and also that, if left unchecked, the social consequences of widespread misinformation and information illiteracy will only continue to grow more dire. Thus its study must be at the core of every education. But while many books have been written on information literacy, this text is the first to examine information literacy from a cross-national, cross-cultural, and cross-institutional perspective. From this book, readers will learn about information literacy in a wide variety of contexts, including academic and school libraries, public libraries, special libraries, and archives, through research and literature that has previously been siloed in specialized publications; come to understand why information literacy is not just an issue of information and technology, but also a broader community and societal issue; get an historical overview of advertising, propaganda, disinformation, misinformation, and illiteracy; gain knowledge of both applied strategies for working with individuals and for addressing the issues in community contexts; find methods for combating urgent societal ills caused and exacerbated by misinformation; and get tools and techniques for advocacy, activism, and self-reflection throughout one’s career.

Book Description
In six chapters-including a final chapter on turning theory into practice-Reading, Research, and Writing is an in-depth, interdisciplinary look at the literature in rhetoric and composition studies, reading comprehension, cognitive psychology, education theory, and library and information science that captures what academic librarians and their teaching faculty collaborators should know about reading and writing to improve undergraduate writing-from-sources assignments. The implications for such an understanding include improving students' motivation to research, analyze, and synthesize information at a deeper level; improving librarians' ability to influence effective assignment design among teaching faculty; and opening new avenues of meaningful formative assessment in library instruction.

Digital Information Literacy in Agricultural Universities
Author: Yogita Sharma
Publisher: Scientific Publishers
ISBN: 9387741052
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 188
Book Description
The present study is a serious attempt to find the Digital Information Literacy (DIL) skills of post-graduate students of the agricultural universities of Punjab, Haryana and Himachal Pradesh using relevant investigation methods and data collection tools and techniques. Descriptive research design with survey method was used with a fact-finding approach. The research methodology followed in this study involved collection and interpretation of data to find causal connections and relations for the existing status of DIL skills on sample of students. Further, the questionnaire method has been adopted as a data collection tool. A systematic attempt is made to determine various aspects like extent of use of Digital Resources of Information (DRI), proficiency in searching and evaluating DRI, understanding of ethical use of DRI, adoption of DIL in social lives, training needs with regard to DIL and role of the Library and Information Science professionals in the information gathering process from DRI. Questions were framed about the digital information requirements of the students, how effectively and efficiently students locate, evaluate and use information from DRI. In order to enable cross-checking of data for its validity, reliability and consistency, the data was analyzed for various statistical parameters- Frequency Distribution, Percentage, Weighted Index, Karl Pearson’s Correlation Coefficient and Pearson’s Chi Squared Test. Some related past studies were also consulted and an extensive comparison of the results was made. The results and findings have been presented elaborately and further areas of research have also been identified. This book intends to serve as an important tool for students, teachers, researchers and practitioners in the field of Library and Information Science. This book will be highly useful to the researchers in terms of methodology and findings to conduct similar studies on other groups of users in the country and comparing similar studies done abroad.

Understand better how the role of ER librarian has changed through the years The advent of online information has not only changed tremendously the way that resources are stored and accessed, but has caused the evolution of the library and information science profession itself. Electronic Resources Librarianship and Management of Digital Information: Emerging Professional Roles takes a comprehensive look at the position of electronic resources (ER) librarians, the other people who work with e-content, what training and skills are needed, the managing of e-resources, and what the proliferation of online information means for the future of libraries.

Electronic Resources Librarianship and Management of Digital Information: Emerging Professional Roles is a concise and informative signpost on the way the library profession has responded to the advent of the digital information age. This revealing volume explores where these professionals have gained their knowledge and skills, what initiatives they have undertaken and made manifest, how do or don’t e-resources fit in the scope of the traditional work that is performed in an academic library, and the latest issues encountered with the new format. The text is extensively referenced, includes figures to illustrate concepts, and tables to clearly present data. Topics discussed in Electronic Resources Librarianship and Management of Digital Information: Emerging Professional Roles include: essential and preferred characteristics of electronic resources librarian the evolution of ER librarians’ duties the role of ER librarian in hybrid collections research on how well schools train ER librarians providing access to users with disabilities ER librarian role in corporate libraries altering workflows to accommodate the new electronic information format in academic libraries a comparison of the natures of print-based and online resources and the cataloging, maintenance, and access issues a review of the resources and tools that license practitioners use issues involving effective collaboration formal usability testing challenges in making the transition to digital factors affecting the handling of usage data the Government Printing Office’s dissemination of electronic government information and more! Electronic Resources Librarianship and Management of Digital Information: Emerging Professional Roles is a valuable resource for librarians, administrators, educators, and students considering this aspect of librarianship as a profession.
