It also previews some of the topics to be covered, such as contextualizing information needs, evaluating sources, and exploring information iteratively and through differing perspectives. The presentation aims to frame new approaches to literacy learning through an integrated understanding of research processes.
This paper examines digital literacy and how it relates to the philosophical study of ignorance. Ignorance of how digital technologies work (e.g. how users’ online activities can be used to the advantage of platform owners without the users’ knowledge, and how browsing can be confined) is still not well understood from the perspective of user practice.

Responding to Project Information Literacy 2012 workplace study. What are instruction librarians doing to help students with the social side of research?
UGS 302 Syllabus: The role of technology among youth in society and education...Joan E. Hughes, Ph.D.
Fall 2013. A semester-long, writing-intensive course that leads first-year students in considering inventions and innovations (technological and historical) that have changed society and education. We weave from exploring current trends to historical shifts to again current digital innovations with critique from a range of perspectives (educational, political, advertising/marketing, technical, psychological). This course includes university-level requirements including: visiting remarkable places at UT (Harry Ransom Center, TACC VisLab), attending university lectures, engaging in research, writing and oral presenting, and being taught by a Ph.D. tenured faculty member.
A study of sixth graders’ critical evaluation of Internet sourcesaj6785
This study was a descriptive, task-based analysis to determine how sixth-grade students approach the cognitive task of critically evaluating Internet sources. Pairs of sixth grade students in an Information Literacy course evaluated four preselected Internet sites to determine their credibility and appropriateness for two specific research scenarios. Data for analysis included written responses, screencasts, and video of students while completing the task. Results suggest that these students tended toward simplistic modes of evaluation in the face of increased cognitive load, though some moved toward a more critical stance and many applied basic metacognitive strategies. The study points to the importance of instructional approaches that teach students to flexibly apply evaluation criteria in ill-structured environments, that teach advanced metacognitive strategies, and that instill habits of mind for critical inquiry. Instruction that empowers students to practice healthy skepticism even in the face of authority is also essential.
Digital Ethnography: New Ways of Knowing Ourselves and Our CultureRuss Nelson
Presentation given at the Web 2.0 Expo in New York on Nov 11, 2009.
Online advertisers and web analysts are awash in a sea of data: pageviews, CPMs sold, subscriptions, sentiment, friends, fans, click-through rates, comments, posts, re-tweets… These metrics are great at identifying the “Who?” and “What?” of online behavior but they often leave out the “How?”, “Where?”, and “Why?”.
Unlike traditional market research, ethnography uses observation to focus on what people do, not on what they say they do. Ethnography communicates a social story, pulling the audience into the daily lives of the respondents. Despite the introduction of new technologies like social media, humans are still telling the same, vivid stories, just in different ways.
THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE USE OF BLACKBERRY WITH THE STUDENTS’ DEMAND FULF...csandit
The communication technology mainly Blackberry enables a medium to facilitate mediated
interpersonal communication because of its interactive ability. This aspect creates some
easiness. In the interpersonal communication keeping apart with a distance, the interactivity of
the convergent media has been over the potential ability of a feedback since a person accessing
a convergent medium directly gives a feedback of the message conveyed. Blackberry as a result
of an advanced technology development has been growing so fast in this life.
Based on the background and phenomenon mentioned, this research studied about “The
Relationship between The Use of Blackberry with The Demand Fulfillment and Personality of
The Junior High Students in Bandung.” The research was aimed at finding out: (1) the
correlation between ten intensity of blackberry use with the cognitive and affective fulfillment of
The Junior High School Students, (2) the correlation between the intensity of blackberry use
with the Tense Release of The Junior High School Students, (3) the correlation between the
intensity of blackberry use with the Personal Integrative of The Junior High School Students;
(4) the correlation between the intensity of blackberry use with the Socially Integrative of The
Junior High School Students; (5) the correlation between the intensity of blackberry use with
the Confidence of The Junior High School Students; (6) the correlation between the intensity of
blackberry use with the Tolerance of The Junior High School Students; (7) the correlation
between the intensity of blackberry use with the Whole Fulfillment of The Junior High School
Students; (8) the correlation between the intensity of blackberry use with the Personality as a
whole of The Junior High School Students
The research used a quantitative approach with the explanatory survey method. The Theories
used were: Cognitive Psychology, Technology Determinism, and Uses and Gratification . The
population of the research was The Junior High School students. By using random sampling
technique, it was taken 5 schools and 200 students as the sample. The data were taken through
questionnaires. The data obtained were analyzes by using the statistical test of correlation. The
results of the research were shown in the forms of Bar Chart.
Knowledge Gap Hypothesis:
Introduction:
This theory is concerned mainly with “information” and “knowledge” and emphasizes that knowledge is not distributed equally throughout society.
There are haves and have-nots with regard to information just as material wealth Information is very important in our society because any developed country depends on well-informed citizens.
It appears certain that information will be even more important in the future as we move into an increasingly technological age.
Many contemporary issues will require information and an informed public for the solutions for such issues.
Role of mass communication:
* One of the great promises of mass communication is that it provides people with information they need.
* It has the potential of reaching people who have not been reached by other means (poor and undeveloped people).
One example of an effort to use mass communication to provide information to the disadvantaged is the “educational TV program” Sesame Street (which combined information with entertainment for preschool Children.).
Other mass communication efforts that have the advantage of getting information to people usually not reached
is the televised presidential debates that might take the presidential election campaigns to people who would not normally be exposed to the campaign.
The attempts to increase people’s quantities of information from mass media might have some unexpected or undesirable effects.
This undesirable possibility is that mass communication might actually have the effect of increasing the gap in knowledge between members of different social classes. This possibility is called: “ Knowledge gap Hypothesis”.
The authors of Knowledge Gap Hypothesis:
• § The Knowledge Gap Hypothesis was first proposed in 1970 by Tichenor, Donohue and OLien. Mostly, it is known as Tichenor et al or Tichenor and his colleagues’ hypothesis.
Tichenor et al . Stated the KG Hypothesis as follow:
“As the infusion of mass media information into a social system increases, segments of the population with higher socio-economic status tend to acquire this information at a faster rate than the lower status segments, so that the gap in knowledge between these two segments tend to increase rather than decrease”.
The hypothesis predicts that:
• § People of both high and low socioeconomic status will gain in knowledge because of the additional information, but that persons of higher socioeconomic status will gain more.
• § This would mean that the relative gap in knowledge between the well-to-do and less well-off would increase.
Tichenor and his colleagues suggest that:
The K. G. is particularly likely to occur in such areas of general interest as public affairs and science news. It is less likely to occur in more specific areas that are related to people’s particular interests-areas like sports or garden care.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)

4. Context is (now) king
• [Context]is a key to understanding how students
operationalize and prioritize their course-related and
everyday life research activities… students
consistently referred to “finding context,” in one form
or another, as the most laborious, yet requisite, part
of the research process (Head & Eisenberg, 2009)
• Nearly all students intentionally make use of a small
compass for traversing the ever-widening and
complex information landscape they inhabit, whether
they are finding information for course work or for
use in their daily lives (Head & Eisenberg, 2010)
• A study of 33 graduates in 23 companies found that
new workers used traditional college information
skills, but workers and employers both felt the need
for them to adapt to business research practices,
especially working with a variety of sources, including
traditional sources and collaborative settings (Head,
et al., 2013)
5. Teaching students to draw
distinctions sets the stage for
creating new categories, being open
to new information, and being
aware of different perspectives.
Distinctions reveal that the material
is situated in a context and imply
that other contexts may be
considered.
Ellen Langer, Harvard University
ON THE THRESHOLD
6. AUTHORITY IS CONTEXTUAL AND CONSTRUCTED
SCHOLARSHIP AS CONVERSATION
Information resources reflect expertise and credibility evaluated based
on the information need and the context used. Authority is
constructed in that various communities may recognize different types
of authority. Information need may help determine level of authority.
Communities of scholars, researchers, or
professionals engage in sustained discourse with
new insights and discoveries occurring over time as
a result of varied perspectives and interpretations.

11. Information Creation as a Process
Information is produced to convey a message, shared via a
selected delivery method. Researching, creating, revising,
and disseminating information vary, and the resulting
product reflects these differences.
• capabilities and constraints of information and
processes
• assess the fit between process and need
• articulate traditional and emerging processes
information perceived differently based on format
• implications of information formats contain static
or dynamic information
• monitor the value that is placed on types of
information products
• transfer knowledge of capabilities and constraints
to new types of information products
• choices impact the purposes for use and the
message it conveys
12. Live Tweet-The Pitch
The top three social media sites used in 2014 are 1) Facebook,
2) Twitter, and 3)Linked In.
Out of 654,750,000 twitter account users, there is an average
58 million tweets each day. A college student may not realize
the impact the content of their social media sites may have on
not only their relationships and school work but also their
future career opportunities.
The Lead Series: What does your social media say about you
presentation will explore different social media sites and
explain how ones image is portrayed to future employers.
This event will discuss how one can make a good first
impression socially, for example on Facebook, or professionally
on LinkedIn.
We believe as a group that this event will benefit us personally
and our twitter followers as well. They will indirectly learn to
use social media tools for entertainment and businesslike
situations in their near future.
14. Research as Inquiry
Research is iterative and depends upon asking increasingly complex or
new questions whose answers in turn develop additional questions or
lines of inquiry in any field.
15. A starting point
Students today think and
process information
fundamentally differently from
their predecessors, as a result
of being surrounded by new
technology (Prensky, 2001).
The actual situation is far from
clear. A more measured and
disinterested approach is now
required to investigate ‘digital
natives’ and their implications for
education (Bennett, Maton, &
Kervin, 2008).
Quest of inquiry and authority is often open, unresolved, critical,
personal, professional, social, and strives for meaning and structure

19. Information Has Value
Information possesses several dimensions of value,
commodity, means of education, means to influence,
means of negotiating and understanding the world.
Legal and socioeconomic interests influence information.

Searching as Strategic Exploration
Searching for information is nonlinear and iterative, requiring
evaluation of a range of information sources and mental flexibility to
pursue alternate avenues.
25. • When building web sites students had challenges
using both traditional and web based search tools,
especially social networks (Delicious, YouTube, Flickr)
(Cordes, 2013).
• Comparing the library catalog, database, and search
engine students felt the database more useful for
performing academic tasks than the catalog or
Google, but found Google easier to use overall
(Cordes, 2014).
• In a collaborative decision task, teams using a
discussion process that supported member
interdependence made better decisions and had
more positive feelings about the work climate and
procedures (Cordes, 2014).

• All information has value, depending on what your

Philosophy and concepts that form understanding of content and how it is processed. This impacts library instruction designed to help students develop skills, ability, and understanding to use information for academic and personal achievement.
The way we investigate is changing, in part from avenues for creating and discussing everyday and discipline related information, and the form this knowledge takes. Approaches to research leading to new knowledge creation vary by need, circumstance, and type of inquiry.
Sea change brings new needed behaviors/dispositions
Key behaviors- persistence, adaptability, and flexibility, and recognition that ambiguity can be beneficial.
Key concept-Critical thinking supports learning when lack of familiarity with new methods and approaches requires additional effort.

Transformation may represent how people ‘think’ in a discipline
It can be argued that transformed understanding leads to a privileged or dominant view and therefore a contestable way of understanding something.
Authority Is Constructed and Contextual
Information Creation as a Process
Information Has Value
Research as Inquiry Scholarship as Conversation
Searching as Strategic Exploration
Level of authority can vary with need,
Context influences trust and belief (ie religion, political)
What is the relationship between need and authority? Authority and context?
Who/what is an authority? How does format fit?
What sources should be examined? How closely?
How good is good enough?
How does perspective differ between sources?
How does perspective change over time?
What is our responsibility toward the truth?

Participants become real world researchers, creating content using new formats and technologies, bringing value to the information marketplace through the development and dissemination of contextually relevant experience.
Students defined the maning of of imporatnace and conveyed this through creation of content from experts becoming experts in the process.
Hashtags made things retrievable, not all showed, care was needed to be unique
consider research as open-ended exploration and engagement with information;
appreciate that a question may appear to be simple but still disruptive and important to research;
value intellectual curiosity in developing questions and learning new investigative methods;
maintain an open mind and a critical stance;
value persistence, adaptability, and flexibility and recognize that ambiguity can benefit the research process;
seek multiple perspectives during information gathering and assessment;
seek appropriate help when needed;
follow ethical and legal guidelines in gathering and using information;
demonstrate intellectual humility (i.e., recognize their own intellectual or experiential limitations).
The debate of student info skill began with commentary, years later a call still remains for empirical study, both positions grounded in strong beliefs from experience, professional focus, and later experiments arising in a number of disciplines, education, technology, information science, communications, media studies, psychology.
The crime and punishment exercise promotes critical thinking, balances thought on cultural perceptions of social issues in the past and today, raises arguments, and explores perceptions of multiple parties over time. Using digital technology, in this case the mind map, students collaborate on ideas, and conceptualizations of meanings.
The way we investigate is changing, in part from avenues for creating and discussing everyday and discipline related information, and the form this knowledge takes. Approaches to research leading to new knowledge creation vary by need, circumstance, and type of inquiry.
Sea change brings new needed behaviors/dispositions
Key behaviors- persistence, adaptability, and flexibility, and recognition that ambiguity can be beneficial.
Key concept-Critical thinking supports learning when lack of familiarity with new methods and approaches requires additional effort.
Chess was the greatest fun. We were made to play properly in chess, he was a master of this game - he couldn’t bear to do anything else; but for all the other games he had entirely new rules.

Information possesses several dimensions of value, commodity, means of education, means to influence, means of negotiating and understanding the world.
Legal and socioeconomic interests influence information.
What is the value in the preceding slides?
Academic, personal, what is vetted, what is acceptable?
Information in business is worth the difference between the business’ bank account balance. Take the cash in the bank with the information, and subtract from that what it would have been without the information, and that’s the value.

Sea of Searching
Searching for information is often nonlinear and iterative, requiring the evaluation of a range of information sources and the mental flexibility to pursue alternate avenues as new understanding develops.
These are some challenges students have had in my research projects and courses. What have you encountered in your library? Your instruction!
Connectivism-which emphasizes the role of social and cultural context. Connectivism is often associated with and proposes a perspective similar to Vygotsky's 'zone of proximal development' (ZPD), an idea later transposed into Engeström's (2001) Activity theory.
Tools-Rules-Division of Labor-Object Oritation (activity), Subjects
The zone of proximal development, often abbreviated as ZPD, is the difference between what a learner can do without help and what he or she can do with help.
Traditional information literacy applies to both academics and personal endeavors, although the tools, tactics and times will change
There may be no one right answer, but there is often a best answer for a given situation
In a rapidly changing information world the key to survival is to question, evaluate, and question again
Knowing what you need, why you need it and where you can get it can mean the difference between success and failure.
