Farmer, MacLean & Corns (2) - How can reading lists be effective information literacy tools?

The document discusses qualities that make a good reading list and how those qualities contribute to information literacy skills development. It provides 3 potential responses to questions asked of attendees: 1. A good reading list is clearly divided by topic and purpose, introduces academic journals, and demonstrates referencing skills to help students progress in their learning. 2. Academics can be supported to more fully engage with reading list development by collaborating with librarians, offering templates, and showing how lists can incorporate features that develop information literacy. 3. Letting academics know what librarians can offer in terms of current reading lists, curriculum support, and different referencing styles can encourage collaboration to benefit students.
