This presentation was for 2015 Summer Workshop at Cedar Crest College and explored the following: Metaliterate learners, who apply integrated competencies related to evaluating, consuming, and producing information in participatory environments, will be better prepared for college level learning and lifelong civic engagement. This workshop defined metaliteracy, discussed the four domains of metaliteracy and related learning goals and objectives, and examined how this approach has been applied in the curricular design of several innovative projects such as competency based digital badging and three MOOCs. Participants discussed ways to envisage opportunities to enhance students’ metaliteracy abilities, and to share these ideas with other attendees.
Microblogging in higher education: Digital Natives, knowledge creation, socia...Maurice Dawson
With the rise of Web 2.0, microblogging has become a widely accepted phenomenon for sharing information. Moreover, the Twitter platform has become the tool of choice for universities looking to increase their digital footprint. However, scant research addresses the viability of microblogging as a tool to facilitate knowledge creation practices among higher education students. This paper proposes a model to explain how students, as digital natives, leverage the features of the Twitter microblogging for the transfer of knowledge. Finally, the paper examines the dark side of Twitter as a privacy-leaking platform and issues a call to higher institutions for specific security policies to prevent nefarious use.

Re-awakening the 'Peoples University' - the learning agenda opportunity to reinvigorate public libraries. Community, informal (outside formal academic institutions) and online learning is a growing, disruptive opportunity. Learning happens best where there is a ‘community’ of support and good learning spaces. Public libraries have an opportunity to thrive if they develop the right capabilities to deliver a compelling learning offer.

Library futures: converging and diverging directions for public and academic ...lisld
The major influence on library futures is the changing character of their user communities. As patterns of research, learning and personal development change in a network environment so library services need to change. At the same time, libraries are focused on engaging with their communities more strongly - getting into their work and learning flows. This means that libraries are becoming more unlike each other, they are diverging as they meet the specific needs of their communities. Research libraries diverge from academic libraries, and each is different from urban public libraries, and so on.
At the same time, at a broader level libraries are experiencing similar pressures. The need to engage more strongly with their communities. The need to assess what they do. The need to configure space around experiences rather than around collections. Libraries are converging around some of these issues.
This presentation will consider the future of libraries from the point of view of convergence and divergence between types of libraries.
Libraries are about enabling people in our communities to learn, unlearn, and relearn. This workshop has a focus on the library as a strategic learning institution that makes the community smarter. Learn more about 23 mobile things and how you can build your own mobile learning experience for staff and customers or members. Take part in a discussion about how we frame the library as an important way to make the community smarter, and find out more about current trends in learning that affect our libraries and the way we enact with people who want to learn.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Information literacy forms the basis for lifelong
learning. It is common to all disciplines, to all
learning environments, and to all levels of
education. It enables learners to master content
and extend their investigations, become more
self-directed, and assume greater control over
their own learning.

6. A Collaborative Approach to Information Literacy
Information literacy instruction needs to be tailored to students’
specific research tasks. One-shot de-contextualized library
sessions not tied to specific class assignments or activities,
especially at the beginning of the semester, won’t engage and
motivate students to learn. Multiple, tailored information literacy
sessions (or at least two sequential sessions) are essential in
addressing students’ information needs.

7. Association of College & Research Libraries - ACRL
Collaborating with Teaching Faculty
Collaboration between teaching faculty and librarians is fundamental to information
literacy.
•Collaboration is based on shared goals, a shared vision, and a climate of trust and
respect. Each partner brings different strengths and perspectives to the relationship.
•The teacher brings an understanding of the strengths, weaknesses, attitudes and
interests of the students, and of the content to be taught.
•The librarian adds a thorough knowledge of information skills and methods to
integrate them into the course, pedagogical knowledge for teaching these skills and
an understanding of student’s frustration with the research process.
Successful collaboration requires carefully defined roles, comprehensive planning
and shared leadership.
The UNLV Libraries will define the new academic research library—bringing people and
information together in innovative ways. As UNLV emerges as a leading urban research institution,
the Libraries will pioneer dynamic, user-focused methods of reaching, connecting, and engaging

8. Target faculty members you know or who are likely
to be receptive:
•Focus on adding value to a web presence
•Make presentations on “hot topics”
•Utilize social media, e-mail, listservs, departmental
newsletters, and other means of advertising
•Make yourself available

9. Strategies for Preparing for Collaboration
Get to know your teaching faculty.
o Send an email, or drop by their office.
o Make an appointment with appropriate department heads to discuss the
possibilities, and get on his/her regular departmental meeting agenda.
Familiarize yourself with subject specialties/faculty research interests/publishers.
Foster two-way communication.
Focus on the repeat customer, slowly expanding information literacy programs.
Focus efforts on previously targeted programs, and expand those.
Gain credibility with faculty through reference and research assistance-present
yourself as the subject resource expert.
Initiating is the key to creating opportunities.
Never say no if someone else initiates.
Start small, and don’t take on too much too soon or expectations will run even higher.
Realize that some connections will take time to establish and continue improving
those.

10. Interpersonal and Communication Strategies
Teach people to treat you as they would any member of their department.
Establish peer relationships with teaching faculty.
Give everyone individualized attention (includes faculty and students); become
their go-to. This will increase the number of referrals for classes, and grad
student visits.
Maintain a positive attitude and enthusiasm for libraries, instruction and
reference.
Show genuine interest in students, and student success.
Explore different avenues of communication, find out what individuals prefer.
Take risks, and be persistent and assertive. Don’t be afraid to say no, and then
suggest alternatives.
Establish boundaries with teaching faculty. Inform them how you would like to
work with them. Find out what is mutually beneficial.

Editor's Notes
During these multiple sessions there should be a balance between upfront instruction and individual practice. Our experience indicates that formal library presentations should be brief (about 15 minutes) and focused on one or two specific databases or search strategies most pertinent to the course assignment. Such didactic instruction would do well to allow interactive work sessions of 30 minutes or more that encourage students to apply their newly acquired information literacy skills. These application sessions also allow time to assess students’ learning in order to plan more effectively for subsequent instruction. . When sequencing information literacy , we asked students in lower level developmental courses to begin with informative projects; in higher levels we gradually asked them to assume more critical and persuasive approaches to their research. For lower levels of developmental courses, we also pre-selected a limited number of sources, guided research questions, and structured the products. In higher level courses, we encouraged students to choose research questions and sources more independently as they gained confidence and competence. Although we recommend these general sequencing principles we believe that students at every level need opportunities to experiment, discover, and take risks as they conduct research projects that matter to them.
