Information Literacy for College
To be information literate in college, according to the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL), students should be able to determine how much information is needed on a topic, access information efficiently and effectively, evaluate information sources critically, incorporate selected information into their own knowledge, use information for specific purposes, understand legal and ethical issues related to information use, and access and use information legally and ethically. In the academic world, opinions must be backed by evidence from peer-reviewed research, where other scholars review research papers to verify the quality of information and analysis before the papers are published. When writing research papers for class, students should use peer-reviewed sources found through the university library or its subscription databases.

What does it mean to be information literate for college?
This document defines what it means to be information literate in college. It explains that college research is more complex than everyday searches and requires determining the extent of needed information, accessing it effectively and evaluating sources critically. Unlike everyday opinions, opinions in academic work must be supported by evidence from peer-reviewed research. Peer-review ensures opinions are based on verifiable facts by having experts in a field review research before publication. Students are directed to use peer-reviewed journals, books and databases accessible through the library for college-level research.

This document discusses using Wikipedia to teach information literacy skills in college classrooms. It begins by outlining why Wikipedia should be used, noting its popularity and ubiquity. Several classroom activities are described that use Wikipedia, such as evaluating the credibility of Wikipedia entries, identifying and following citations, and editing Wikipedia entries. The document concludes by listing additional resources for using Wikipedia in information literacy instruction and posing the question of whether Wikipedia represents "Wikiality".
Eh orientation
Information literacy refers to the set of skills needed to find, evaluate, and use information effectively. The UAH library provides information literacy instruction to help students become independent lifelong learners. Sessions are designed collaboratively with faculty and tailored to different learning styles. Students participate in hands-on research activities and leave each session with progress on their own projects. The library website provides access to hundreds of databases and journals, as well as interlibrary loan, to support student and faculty research needs.
Wikipedia to wow
This document discusses ideas for improving research assignments given to students. It notes that students often experience anxiety about how to start research and don't understand the research process. They rely heavily on assignment guidelines and use familiar search tools like Wikipedia, rather than exploring different types of sources. The document suggests providing more specific guidance about the research process and sources to use. It also notes that students want to do quality work and learn new things, so assignments should aim to help them develop information literacy skills.

This document discusses responsive and responsible use of digital resources for research. It outlines changes in the research process due to digital technologies, such as diverse online tools and formats. However, some aspects remain unchanged, like research being cyclical, time-intensive, and cumulative. The document suggests four strategies: choosing appropriate resources; properly evaluating resources; citing sources correctly using styles like APA or MLA; and reading for understanding how sources relate to the research topic and each other. Responsible research requires using sources ethically by paraphrasing, quoting, and citing work to avoid plagiarism and add credibility.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
