Info Lit Elem
The document outlines six rules for becoming a computer genius:
1. Read the screen - pay attention to what is displayed on the computer screen.
2. It's all about words - keywords, tags, and spelling are important for effective searching.
3. Computers are dumb - computers only work because of human programming and input.
4. Think before you compute - carefully plan searches and don't stop thinking critically.
5. There are lots of ways to get information - don't limit searches to just one source.
6. What's online stays online - be aware that anything posted online can remain accessible forever.

Search Engines
Search engines are tools designed to help users find relevant web pages by searching for keywords. They work by having huge databases of web page files that are assembled automatically. Some key search engines include Google, Yahoo, and Bing. Search engines can be used educationally to help students find resources for projects and papers. While they are useful for visual and interpersonal learners, auditory, musical, tactile, and intrapersonal learners may benefit less due to a lack of audio content or an individual focus. Overall, search engines have been important learning technologies for students and educators.

Conceptions of GIS: implications for information literacy
According to Nazari's contextual methodological model emerged from her PhD study, people's conceptions and experiences of a subject/discipline in some real-life contexts, e.g. when learning or teaching the subject, plays a key role in uncovering the competencies learners need to effectively learn the subject and transfer their knowledge to their workplace.
In this presentation, Nazari presents four conceptions of GIS (Geographic Information Science/Systems) as conceived or experienced by a group of GIS educators and students in a joint ODL GIS programme, delivering in the UK and US.
Drawing on the conceptions, she highlights their implications for information literacy in the context of the programme, using and reflecting on the SCONUL model.
