I spent a wonderful Saturday (5/10) with my fellow Oregon information literacy advocates discussing school libraries, social media, threshold concepts, and citation analysis. Many thoughtful people attended including school librarians, writing instructors, academic librarians, and others!

IL for All: Using Pinterest and Other Social Media to Expand Learners’ Understanding of Information Literacy for Active Engagement in Creative Assignments [presentation] – Sara Jameson, Senior Instructor/Assistant Director of Writing, Dalicia Fennell, Writing Instructor, and Alexandra Hesbrook, Writing Instructor, Oregon State University and Michele Burke, Reference Librarian, Chemeketa Community CollegeThis presentation will show how Pinterest, Facebook, and other social media sites can be effectively used for active student engagement in classes, for research and for assignments. We will look at ways to use Pinterest in the research process, such as searching Library and public Pinterest boards as databases and sources of information, and using individual and class Pinterest boards to share findings as a research log.  Individual and class Pinterest boards can also become a final product.  As active learners ourselves, we will share ways to add engaged value to classes.
Source Code: Assessing Cited References to Measure Student Information Literacy Skills  [presentation] [handout] – Dale Vidmar, Information Literacy and Instruction Librarian, Southern Oregon UniversitySustainable instruction in today’s environment of reduced resources must be aligned with student learning outcomes and measurements. As such, the assessment of student work—in particular, the assessment of foundational goals such as information literacy along with oral and written communication and critical thinking—is paramount to a thriving information literacy and instruction program that benefits the library, the institution, and ultimately student learning. The key is to assess what is valued in a way that is manageable and informative. At the same time, it is important to analyze actual work samples that students complete to the best of their ability—that is samples that are required to complete specific assignment or requirements for their degree. These embedded assessments could include capstone papers or course projects in order to provide a direct and more accurate picture of student achievement and program effectiveness than other measurements such as standardized testing. This session will explore measuring students’ ability to access and evaluate information effectively through an analysis of the cited references used in a research paper or project. Guided by a rubric to review the sources listed in a bibliography—without necessarily reviewing how they are used within the paper itself—an assessment can be drawn as to the students’ ability to find, retrieve, and use a variety of high quality information sources to support their research.
Assessing threshold concepts for information literacy: Teaching information literacy threshold concepts means introducing our students to some of the “big ideas” that can transform their understanding of the information landscape. Development of an assessment practice that might demonstrate whether students have crossed IL learning thresholds is in its infancy. This work group will start from existing examples to draft new instructional activities that can help students approach learning thresholds for IL.

As part of the 2011 L1brar1an Conference we watched the documentary Beautiful Losers about DIY art. This inspired us to look at libraries in a different light.

<![CDATA[Occupy Wall Street Library]]>

One outcome of the Occupy Wall Street movement has been the development of its own unique library. Pretty cool.

Storified by l1brar1an · Thu, Oct 27 2011 06:14:37

An interesting development in the Occupy Wall Street movement is the formation of its own unique library.

Occupy Wall Street 10/10/11 · CarrieM213

The Occupy Wall Street Library has its own website and best practices. The library is intended as a resource for movement participants as well as tool to document the event.

There are also other library collections that document social protest movements in the United States. The Labadie Collection at the University of Michigan is one such collection.

Here is what people on the internet are saying about the Occupy Wall Street Library.
