Foundations of information literacy / by Taylor, Natalie Greene,1987-author.; Jaeger, Paul T.,1974-author.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 181-214) and index.Searching for Information (Literacy) -- Defining Information Literacy -- Information Literacy in the Context of Information Behavior and Everyday Life -- The Operationalization of Information Literacy, Part I: Academic and School Libraries -- The Operationalization of Information Literacy, Part II: Public Libraries, Special Libraries, and Archives -- Information Literacy Is a Human Right -- Controlling Information Literacy -- Literacy Politics and Literacy Policies -- Why Libraries? -- The Field Guide to Incorrect Information -- A Brief History of Advertising, Propaganda, and Other Delights -- Pandemic-Style Disinformation, Misinformation, and Illiteracy -- Toward Lifelong Information Literacy -- Advocacy, Activism, and Self-Reflection for Information (Literacy) Professionals -- The Social Infrastructure for Information Literacy -- The Lifelong Information Literacy Society."Drawing upon both the latest research and best practices, the authors address information literacy in ways relevant for all types of libraries, providing both the broader context and a range of applied strategies and programs for promoting and teaching information literacy"--"The ideal text for acquainting LIS students and practitioners with this important cornerstone of librarianship, this book provides a comprehensive introduction to information literacy--spanning institutions, cultures, and nations--through the lenses of information, technology, education, employment, engagement, society, policy, democratic governance, and human rights. 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." -- Publisher's description

This book provides a cross-disciplinary review of the literature regarding use of humor in tertiary education settings, and specifically in library science; explains its effectiveness for capturing and maintaining student attention when covering necessary subjects; and presents the invaluable personal experiences of instruction librarians across North America who regularly use humor in the classroom. Humor and Information Literacy: Practical Techniques for Library Instruction addresses the subject in both a scholarly and a practical manner. The first section of the book contains original multi-disciplinary essays covering humor in the fields of communication theory, education, library science, psychology, and even stand-up comedy. The second section documents practical techniques that practicing librarians use to teach information literacy with humor, accompanied by commentary by the authors.

Teaching information literacy reframed : 50+ framework-based exercises for creating information-literate learners / by Burkhardt, Joanna M.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 173-178) and index.Decoding the Framework for information literacy -- Scholarship as conversation -- Research as inquiry -- Authority -- Information creation as a process -- Searching as strategic exploration -- Information has value -- Creating exercises, rubrics, learning outcomes, and learning assessments -- Appendix A. The ACRL framework for information literacy for higher education.The six threshold concepts outlined in the Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education are not simply a revision of ACRL's previous Information Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education. They are instead an altogether new way of looking at information literacy. In this book, instructional librarian Burkhardt decodes the Framework, putting its conceptual approach into straightforward language while offering more than 50 classroom-ready Framework-based exercises. Guiding instructors towards helping students cross each threshold, this book discusses the history of the development of the Framework document and briefly deconstructs the six threshold concepts; addresses each threshold concept, scaffolding from the beginner level to the intermediate level; includes exercises that can be used in the one-shot timeframe as well as others designed for longer class sessions and semester-long courses; offers best practices in creating learning outcomes, assessments, rubrics, and teaching tricks and tips; and looks at how learning, memory, and transfer of learning applies to the teaching of information literacy.

Fake news and alternative facts : information literacy in a post-truth era / by Cooke, Nicole A.;
"Talk of so-called fake news, what it is and what it isn't, is front and center across the media landscape, with new calls for the public to acquire appropriate research and evaluation skills and become more information savvy. But none of this is new for librarians and information professionals, particularly for those who teach information literacy. Cooke, a Library Journal Mover & Shaker, believes that the current situation represents a golden opportunity for librarians to impart these important skills to patrons, regardless of their age or experience. In this Special Report, she demonstrates how. Readers will learn more about the rise of fake news, particularly those information behaviors that have perpetuated its spread; discover techniques to identify fake news, especially online; and explore methods to help library patrons of all ages think critically about information, teaching them ways to separate fact from fiction. Information literacy is a key skill for all news consumers, and this Special Report shows how librarians can make a difference by helping patrons identify misinformation"--Provided by publisher.Includes bibliographical references and index.Introduction -- The information behavior of it all -- The illusion of Internet savvy -- Critical thinking and metaliteracy -- Conclusion.
