The document discusses the role of librarians as teachers of information literacy in the digital age. It outlines how information literacy involves developing independent learners and includes the social dimensions of information. It also describes a project at the London School of Economics where librarians partnered with students to develop workshops on topics like evaluating information, research practices, and digital identity. The project helped librarians understand how to better support students' transition to university and develop as independent learners.
Embedding digital and informtion literacies into undergraduate teaching at LSEJane Secker
This document summarizes the results of an audit conducted at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) to assess undergraduate students' development of digital and information literacies. The audit found that while these literacies are seen as important, they are not fully embedded in the curriculum and support is inconsistent. In response, LSE is developing an information literacy framework, strengthening partnerships between library and learning support staff, and exploring ways to better integrate these skills into online learning and through student ambassadors. The goal is to make improvements sustainable and scalable, while continuing to measure progress through potential future audits.

Brief overview of New Curriculum for ILJane Secker
1) The document summarizes research conducted by Jane Secker and Emma Coonan to develop a new modular and holistic curriculum for information literacy.
2) They used a modified Delphi approach including a literature review and workshop feedback to design the curriculum.
3) The curriculum is grounded in the view that information literacy is fundamental to lifelong learning and development. It includes 10 themes to support students through the research process from transition to higher education to synthesizing knowledge.
The DELILA project aimed to promote open sharing of information literacy and digital literacy teaching materials between UK universities. Key achievements included releasing resources as open educational resources (OERs) and customizing repositories to provide access to these resources. Challenges included addressing intellectual property rights and ensuring resources remained up to date and reusable by other institutions. The project demonstrated that while information and digital literacy resources can be shared between institutions, full reuse may be limited due to institutional specific nature of some materials.
Information literacy beyond the academy : recent perspectives from the UKJane Secker

A Graduate Critical Appraisal Assignment for Athletic TrainingJohn Parsons
1) The document discusses a graduated critical appraisal assignment used to teach athletic training students how to critically analyze research studies. 2) It involves having students start with annotating articles and working up to crafting clinical questions, analyzing levels of evidence, and fully critically appraising studies. 3) The assignment is meant to help students develop skills in evidence-based practice and preparing them for real-world clinical decision making.
