Information Literacy Course - Regular Lessons What do we Teach? Electronic information resources Catalogues Citing and citation ethics Defining a problem; evaluation and interpretation of information; academic writing (cooperation with CEINVE) MS Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) Presentation and rhetoric Online tools (Google tools, time management, publishing) Creative techniques for successful study

Participants of Lessons Students of the FA – especially bachelor and master's students PhD students Academic staff of the FA Students from other faculties – very rarely, especially FSS

Who Trains? (reference) librarian External collaborators Colleagues from the Division of Information and Library Studies (currently project CEINVE - Information Literacy Centre: Development of Information Literacy at Masaryk University ) Librarian colleagues (especially from MU)

Promotion and Methods mass email sent to all current students of the FA, posters, Facebook registration required (limited capacity of the classroom) focused on practical training and usability in study and working life feedback – online questionnaire (Google spreadsheet) sent by email after a lesson => We often find topics there for the next semester.

Cooperation with Teachers fields of study: psychology, Czech language, Czech literature, classical studies, educational science, musicology and film studies basis: communication and cooperation with teachers content: information resources relevant to a particular field of study (licensed, freely available); citing and citation ethics form: presentations in the classroom future: depends on relations with teachers, building a reputation, cooperation, communication, qualification of librarians (=> It's difficult to prepare a lesson of a high quality because of a large number of fields of study at the faculty.)

Tools for More Effective Work (own experience) Google Docs (documents) – suitable for working together on documents (text, presentation, table), creating simple questionnaires and surveys, working with the results of the questionnaires SlideShare (http://www.slideshare.net) – online tool for sharing presentations MindMeister (http://www.mindmeister.com/) – online tool for creation and sharing mind maps Prezi (http://prezi.com/) – online tool for creation unusual presentations Picasa (http://picasa.google.com) Pixlr (http://pixlr.com)

Creative Techniques for Successful Study Brainstorming Mind Mapping Working with associations Speed reading Six Thinking Hats

Why do we Include these Topics? techniques can be used for the purpose of study, regardless of the field useful in later life (working, private) students usually do not have an opportunity to get to know them from anywhere else creative techniques lesson is one of the favourite ones (=> many participants, good evaluation)
