Critical Thinking: Raises vital questions and problems, formulating them clearly and precisely Gathers and assesses relevant information, using abstract ideas to interpret it effectively comes to well-reasoned conclusions and solutions, testing them against relevant criteria and standards Thinks open-mindedly within alternative systems of thought recognizing and assessing, as need be, their assumptions, implications, and practical consequences Communicates effectively with others in figuring out solutions to complex problems Paul, Richard, and Linda Elder.

How far do we engage the students politically? Or…How I learned to stop worrying about the myth of the objective librarian…

If these local issues are driven by inaccurate, fear-driven, specious information… As information professionals where do we step in? Question of the Day?
