Information literacy (23/05/08)

- Information Structures and Undergraduate Students
(source: The Journal of Academic Librarianship, vol. 34, n° 3, mai 2008, pages 211-219 / sur abonnement)
This study explores how undergraduates seek information across various information structures. Taking part in an interview, fifteen students of diverse backgrounds described their information seeking. The findings pointed to several issues relating to the underlying structures of information resources. Suggestions are made for structural improvements to facilitate undergraduates’ information seeking.

- Communities as Necessity in Information Literacy Development: Challenging the Standard
(source: The Journal of Academic Librarianship, vol. 34, n° 3, mai 2008, pages 248-255 / sur abonnement)
Contemporary standards suggest that information literate activity is a solitary process. As a corrective, research and pedagogical theories related to “learning communities” and “communities of practice” have become valuable sites of inquiry for librarians. The author provides strategies for making community a topic of instruction.

- Information Literacy and Reflective Pedagogical Praxis
(source: The Journal of Academic Librarianship, vol. 34, n° 3, mai 2008, pages 256-262 / sur abonnement)
Drawing on discussions within Composition and Rhetoric, this article examines information literacy pedagogy. It considers how academic librarians can work toward theorizing our profession in such a way that we may ask new questions of it and foster creative, reflective, and critical habits of mind regarding pedagogical praxis.

- First Year Out - Just Not That Into Us
(source: ACRLog, 22/05/08)
A sociologist at my institution, Tim Clydesdale, has written a book, The First Year Out, about the mindset of students during their first year out of high school. A main point of the book is that during their first year of college, students are primarily concerned with issues relating to “daily life management,” especially relationships with friends and family. Only after students have the “first year project” behind them will they become more open to the possibility of serious intellectual engagement.
Voilà qui devrait en faire réfléchir certain(e)s, selon moi. Certains bibliothécaires, je veux dire.
