Information Literacy It is a set of abilities requiring individuals to recognize when information is needed and have the ability to locate, evaluate, and use effectively the needed information.

Library Instruction in the Information Age A single current newspaper contains more written and visual information than the average person in the 17th Century was likely to come across in their entire lifetime. There are many areas of literacy that all add up to Information Literacy: Cultural, Visual, Media, Network, Computer, Traditional Alphabetic Literacy, and Library Instruction.

DID YOU KNOW…

Educational Goals for 21 st Century 1. Teach Students to be self-directed & understand how to organize more & more of their own learning. 2. Teach our students the importance of global communication. 3. Teach our students to deal with massive amounts of information.

Library Instruction in the Information Age New Search Strategies are required. Critical evaluation is more important than ever.

Define: Catalog, Database, WWW Catalog: A comprehensive list of the books, periodicals, maps, and other materials in a given collection. Database: A large, regularly updated file of digitized information related to a specific subject or field. World Wide Web: A global network of Internet servers providing access to documents written in a script called Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) that allows content to be interlinked, locally and remotely.

Search Techniques Keyword Basic Boolean

Keywords Flexible terms Easy searches Less accurate searches

Identifying Keywords Identify the significant terms and concepts that describe your topic from your thesis statement or research question. These terms will become the key for searching catalogs, indexes, and databases for information about your subject.

Other Keywords Identify the synonyms and antonyms to your keywords Use a thesaurus Use database tools like descriptors and subjects

Keyword Phrases Single concept, multiple words Some electronic resources require keyword phrases be enclosed with punctuation  Quotation marks  Parenthesis

Keyword Phrases Basic phrase Proper names Hyphenated words Slogans, advertisements Famous quotes Movie titles, song titles, etc. (computer disk) “Native American” (x-ray or fine-tune) “kills bugs dead” (to be or not to be) “Lord of the Rings”

Paper Topics Lottery Home schooling Closed campus Learning disabilities Textbook prices Standardized testing Violence

Textbook pricing First, narrow down the topic  Which textbooks are you talking about?  What about pricing? Focus on:  Rising cost for students  Profit for publisher and authors  Cost of paper/natural resources  Role of colleges/universities to intercede  How do students off-set this cost? More work hours/multiple jobs? More loans/scholarships? More credit card debt?

How “AND” is used AND (narrows)  textbook and college  textbook and college and “price increases”

Select three keywords… CollegeStudentTextbook prices

How “OR” is used OR (expands)  college or university  increases or rising AND & OR together  college or university and textbook  increases or rising and “textbook cost”

Select related terms… CollegeStudentTextbook prices Undergraduates Collegian University Higher Education inflation College expenses

Search Strategy Endless possibilities…  student OR collegian AND textbook AND cost  student AND “textbook pricing” AND college OR university  textbook AND college AND inflation

Boolean AND = Narrow OR = Expand NOT = Exclude

Boolean Operators Connect keywords only Must be placed between keywords AND  Narrows your search OR  Expands your search with synonymous terms NOT  Excludes words from your search  If used too much, it can work against you!

Class Exercise Keyword Building Exercise Topic: U.S.A. Presidential Elections Thesaurus.com

U.S.A. Presidential Elections State American National Voting History Choosing BallotingRecord Politics

Helpful Keywords to Use Issue Controversy Statistic Ethical Rights Debate Attitude Trend Condition Examples : Rights and poverty death penalty and Controversy household spending and Trends
