- 12. Information Overload: Student perspective …” we’ve kind of been tossed into this and we’ve just learned through experience we have to go on a Web site and just raid it for information. So I would say that despite all that’s out there, it certainly is harder to find the right source and evaluate whether it’s good, or not, because there’s so much – you only have a little bit of time to spend on each source you find. -Engineering student in a follow-up interview Project Information Literacy From Eisenberg, Michael B. and Alison J.

Editor's Notes
- Changing everyday!
- One of the problems in doing a presentation about “today’s school library” is that this paradigm is the one most people have in their minds! Look familiar???
- And this isn’t much better! Just a name change…nothing more
- We are in the 21 st century and the role of the school library is all about 21 st century skills. Notice the importance of information, media and technology skills in this framework from the Partnership for 21st century skills. In 2009, Ohio became the 14 th state in the Partnership for 21 st Century Skills.
- In the 21 st century, or digital age, here is a model of a dynamic school library and one to which I aspire . The role of the library is to provide all of the items on the white arrows in the center to create a “formational learning experience”. The library is NOT just about the information but how to use the information effectively and efficiently to create new knowledge. Research is not about gathering facts from different sources and then rearranging them. Researchers need to formulate good questions that cause one to ponder, analyze, synthesize and create solutions.
- We call our students today the digital natives (we, are immigrants), the wired generation. BUT an ETS study found
- What do we know about our future world and the importance of information? Department of Labor statistic…
- A 2010 Project Information Literacy study of early adults on college campuses examined the challenges faced in conducting research in the digital age. Biggest challenge? 84% of students surveyed had the most difficult time at the outset of the research assignment, formulating their research question!
- One of the big problems we face today is INFORMATION OVERLOAD!
- I might now include in the next slide information about the “filter bubble”…Google’s personalization of search results or, as Marie said “informaton, or misinformation manipulation”!!
- This come from an article by librarian William Badke at Trinity Western College who also written the book Research Strategies: Finding Your Way Through the Information Fog, third edition (iUniverse.com, 2008).
- From here on, one can add information about their individual libraries and what they are doing to meet some of the 21st century challenges in preparing our students for a global society where our graduates will be formulating questions and finding answers using relevant information with people across the globe!
- This chart is from the Eisenberg’s 2010 Project Information Literacy Study. Note how the items at the top reflect student difficulties with course-related research related to the information literacy strand. Think this chart can be included in presentation. I added later after I completed my board presentation. It is a pretty powerful statement supporting the need for information literacy skills.
