ACRL’s draft of the Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education (click to read)
is out. It tries to be less formulaic than the original Standards for
Information Literacy, and takes into accounts some of the recent changes
in higher ed. It also expands the definition of Information Literacy:
IEEE and Springer removing 120 computer generated papers from their collections."Information literacy combines a repertoire of abilities, practices, and dispositions focused on expanding one’s understanding of the information ecosystem, with the proficiencies of finding, using and analyzing information, scholarship, and data to answer questions, develop new ones, and create new knowledge, through ethical participation in communities of learning and scholarship."
Here are 11 issues facing academic libraries.
Some issues have seen a lot of play, but some of the others haven’t
been discussed as much. Which issues seem the most pressing to you?
Can (should) your library have a personality? Or do we just give the facts, dispassionately?
The opposite of being an online librarian: the archivist in the National Geographic historical image collections.
