This document discusses the evolution of the concept of information literacy. It provides numerous definitions of information literacy, as well as related terms such as information competence, information competency, inquiry-based learning, lifelong learning, and 21st century skills. The document also discusses how information literacy frameworks have increasingly emphasized the importance of finding, evaluating, and using information for personal and academic purposes. Studies show that school librarians and libraries can help develop students' information literacy and boost academic achievement.
The present paper deals with the concept, need, types of
information literacy. Further it explores about the information literacy models, standards/frameworks, popular information literacy programmes and groups, and Information Literacy Programmes held in the Scientific Institutes of Kolkata.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Information Literacy
information literacy (IL)
• Skill in finding the information one
needs, including an understanding of
how libraries are organized,
familiarity with the resources they
provide (including information
formats and automated search tools),
and knowledge of commonly used
research techniques.

What is information literacy?
Information Literacy
• Information Literacy is a
transformational process in which the learner
needs to find, understand, evaluate, and use
information in various forms to create for personal,
social or global purposes.
• Information Literacy shares a fundamental set of
core thinking- and problem-solving meta-skills
with other disciplines. Authentic cross-disciplinary
problems which include observation and inference,
analysis of symbols and models, comparison of
perspectives, and assessment of the rhetorical
context, engage students in developing mastery
information literacy over time.
6. Another concept
Information Competency for Faculty at
Rio Hondo College
• As defined by the Academic Senate for
California Community Colleges (1998),
information competency is the ability to:
• recognize the need for information,
• acquire and evaluate information,
• organize and maintain information, and
• interpret and communicate information

What is Information Competence?
• Information competence is the ability to
find, evaluate, use, and communicate
information in all of its various formats. It
represents the integration of library
literacy, computer literacy, media literacy,
ethics, critical thinking, and
communication skills.

A related term often used outside
library media circles
• We learn best when we are at the center
of our own learning. Inquiry-based
learning is a learning process through
questions generated from the interests,
curiosities, and perspectives/experiences
of the learner. When investigations grow
from our own questions, curiosities, and
experiences, learning is an organic and
motivating process that is intrinsically
enjoyable.

• Project-based learning, problem-

Resource-Based Learning
• Resource-based learning actively
involves students, teachers and teacher-
librarians in the effective use of a wide
range of print, non print and human
resources . . . Students who use a wide
range of resources in various mediums
for learning have the opportunity to
approach a theme, issue or topic of study
in ways which allow for a range of
learning styles and access to the theme
or topic via cognitive or affective
appeals. More

Yet another related term
Lifelong learning
• Lifelong learning is the process of acquiring
and expanding knowledge, skills, and
dispositions throughout your life to foster
well-being. It isn't about taking an adult
pottery class or reading a nonfiction book
occasionally. It's about the decisions you
make and the problems you solve in
everyday life. From enrolling in an
structured, formal education program to
considering whether to believe an
infomercial's gimmick, lifelong learning
takes many forms.

21st-Century learners may be

overwhelmed:
• . . . Today’s learners have grown up
in a “wired” world. They have
constant access to global information
resources through computers and
mobile devices, and they expect to be able to
retrieve information instantly. This bold new
generation questions the concept of cognitive
authority as mob indexing an Wikipedia permeate
the web. Learners are now surrounded by
information, whether in print, online, or in sound
bites of information.

What Research Tells Us About the
Importance of School Libraries
• At this point . . . there is a clear consensus in
the results now [2002] available for eight
states*: School libraries are a powerful force
in the lives of America's children. The school
library is one of the few factors whose
contribution to academic achievement has
been documented empirically, and it is a
contribution that cannot be explained away
by other powerful influences on student
performance.

A European view
School Library and School Librarianship
• The stream of information from TV channels,
Internet, CD-ROMs, computer programmes
etc. is unending. If the students, when they
become adult citizens, are not to feel lost and
helpless in the face of such rich sources of
information, they must learn [to] devise
personal strategies for information retrieval
while they are still at school. Information
Literacy and “strategies for independent
learning skill development” are key
components of any school library.

The Key Concept?
Competence and comfort with information and
information sources
• Information literacy is the solution to Data Smog.
It allows us to cope by giving us the skills to know
when we need information and where to locate it
effectively and efficiently. It includes the
technological skills needed to use the modern
library as a gateway to information. It enables us
to analyze and evaluate the information we find,
thus giving us confidence in using that information
to make a decision or create a product.

and Research Libraries (a division of the American Library
