1. Item 4A: Create an IT Fluency Program with TILT Amy Hoseth, Jeff Bullington, Sally Hibbitt, Janet Bishop

2. A working definition of information fluency (IF) “Information fluency is the ability to think critically in an information-rich and technology-intensive environment. Information fluent individuals know how information is organized, know how to find information, evaluate information, and use information in a way that is useful to others’ learning. Ultimately, the information fluent individual has learned how to learn.” (The University of Central Florida, 2009)

3. Analysis Background: Long-standing goal – TILT task force on information literacy (2007-8) – Vision 2020 task force report (2007) – Strategic Plan (2007) Library’s information literacy efforts – Face-to-face instruction: 500+ classes per academic year – Archives, CAT training – Online tools: LibGuides, web pages, tutorials – Other reference and outreach: e-mail, reference consults, Help Desk

4. Information Fluency @ CSU Critical Thinking Lead Experts: TILT Technology Literacy Lead Experts: ISTeC Information Literacy Lead Experts: Libraries

5. Analysis 5-10 years from now… – Three-pronged information fluency program CSU Libraries: information literacy TILT: critical thinking ISTeC: technology literacy – “IF-infused curriculum” Online resources (tutorials, etc.) for faculty/students Campus collaboration to promote the program Libraries to focus on IL piece, and collaborate on other pieces

6. Prioritization Internal: – High priority External – Medium to high priority

7. Operationalization Action items: Develop Libraries’ information literacy program – Outline future plans for CO150 instruction – Need for new instructional supports for all classes (tutorials, other virtual resources) Establish collaborative structure with TILT & ISTeC Create working group/task force to move the effort forward – Develop overall strategy – Partner with other units to acquire needed resources (time, skills, technical support)
