Editor's Notes
- Many thanks to everyone who completed the ANZLA Standard Discussion. This slide presentation it going to look at how these IL standards are linked into this unit and your final assessment.
- Script: Hi my name is Lucy a and I have been working within the library profession for about six years. My work with organisations like Amnesty International and the Environment Centre of WA sparked my interest in information and how powerful it can be. I have worked for the State Library and for the City of Stelring Libraries in Community Development roles - promoting fun with literacy through library programmes. Voki Script – Hi my name is Lucia and I have been working within the library profession for about six years. It was from the more than 12 years of working for organisations like Amnesty International and the Environment Centre of WA that made me realise just how important the skills of being able to find, access and use information can be to understanding and advocating solutions to world issues. Being able to develop and use your own information literacy skills and to support others in doing so can help to unlock an individual learning potential and underpins what life long learning. It is a skill set synonymous with libraries and closely linked to the ongoing role and importance of libraries.
- Script: The reason why I wanted you to spend some time looking at the ANZLA IL standards is that they provide an agreed definition of what Information Literacy is as developed by key individuals working in educational and library organisations – Aust. & New Zealand Library Assoc. (Council of University Libraries/College Libraries etc) It outlines how you can continue to develop these skills – that it is not just about being able to use technology to find information but also about critical thinking skills to evaluate the information you are accessing. The standards document describe information literate people as: Those who ‘know when they need information, and are then able to identify, locate, evaluate, organise, and effectively use the information to address and help resolve personal, job related, or broader social issues and problems’. The Standards link directly to your final assessment – and is something you should be thinking about NOW…. In the first assessment 1A, you were asked to think about your current information literacy skills? In your final assessment 1B, you will be asked to think about how your participation in the activities associated with this unit have helped to develop your information literacy skills and where they need further development. You will be asked to link this observations of developed or developing IL skills to the ANZLA standards it relates too? This is why you need to know them and be thinking about them as you move through the activities and assessments in this course.

- Thanks to all of you for doing the work of matching the Information literacy standards to the key elements, the key performance criteria of this unit. These elements are represented as an inter-connected cycle to mirror the way in which each stage of the information literacy skill set can impact on each other. As you have all highlighted, there are very strong links between the IL Standards and it is sometimes hard to distinguish the skill set they refer to, Sourcing and then assessing information may lead to a refinement of the definition of the information need. Preparing and extracting information may change the way it is used and presented and as you start to present your information you may find you have missed a vital part of the information need.
- This diagram roughly matches the links between this units key learning elements or outcomes and the information literacy standards document. They suggest a learning continuum from left to right rather than a hard and fast mapping between top and bottom to take into account, as you have found in your discussion of the Standards, the strong inter-relationship between them. Have a read of my comments to each of the discussions you posted on the Standards for more about this.
- The actual modules and activities you will/have been working towards as part of this develop and use information literacy unit can themselves also be linked directly to the standards and information literacy units – as represented diagrammatically here. The green arrow reminds us again of the inter-relationship between these elements and the standards the relate to most strongly.
- The modules are building your skills in these learning outcome and IL standards while at the same time preparing you for the completion of Assessments related to these module areas. Assessment 2: You Complete after session 2,3 and 4. Assessment 3: To be completed after sessions 4, 5 and 6 Assessment 4: Based on knowledge being built up in session 8 to 11
- The final assessment, due in the final week, is asking you to reflect on your learning journey through the unit and match your awareness of your developing IL skills to the IL Standards. My advice is to do this as you go….Add to your IL Standards discussion forum to reflect on your learning as you work through the activities and begin to write down how they relate to these information literacy standards. By sharing this on the discussion forum you will be both helping each other to build your understanding of these standards and ensuring you have a ideas to work with to put together your final assessment in that last week. Thanks again for all of your excellent work in the discussions and in completing your assessments.
