- #5 April 20, 2010 ISD’s mission is to provide appropriate, efficient, effective and intuitive Information Services in support of the Research, Education, Enterprise and Engagement objectives of the University as outlined in the Corporate Plan 2008 – 12 Leitch report 2006 Higher ambitions from BIS department, 2009, which focused on skills development and employability we have an election in 3 weeks time JISC funded “thriving in the 21st century: learning literacies for the digital age” (2009) Data on literacies (information, digital, media) in HE – review of research, analysis of 15 HEIs and research Evidence: learners can become more critical, evaluative, self aware and self confident But self awareness is weak Active learning via authentic tasks works best CIBER (UCL ) for JISC & BL - briefing paper on “information behaviour of the researcher of the future” (2008) Information seeking behaviours Skimming, horizontal browsing, not spending very long on each page, squirreling but no evidence of actual reading But similar findings when looked at previous generation & use of CD-roms. Not just Google generation? Even more important to address? Team of US academics “how college students seek informaiton in the digital age” Dec 2009 Similar findings – but key thing to me was that tutors have big influence on information literacy behaviours of students. Need to work in partnership
