David Loertscher and Robin Williams: Client-side information literacy: The challenge of a new century (AUDIO)
California Library Association (CLA) presentation in Second Life
Williams and Loertscher will explore ideas of turning the teaching of information literacy from a Microsoft model of doing business into a more Google-like approach where the idea is not: if we build it they will come; to: If they build it, they will use it. It requires all of us to consider carefully the mirror image of our traditional approaches; a shift in thinking; but, one that is central to the role of what an information professional is in an information-rich and technology-rich world.
This program was developed by the CLA Mentoring Committee in collaboration with the "CLA Special Project Using Second Life".
