This Is Info Lit

RSS Archive

Information literacy's purpose is not simply to help students succeed in school; it is to prepare them to participate in democracy. Good citizens are critical thinkers, capable of making informed decisions that contribute to the well-being of society.

To ground the concept in this context, this blog will provide real-world (not library) examples of information literacy.

Please use any of them in your instruction sessions. And if you have any suggestions, please contact Joel Burkholder.

Hey! Banned Books Week is coming up starting this Sunday! This year has a focus on banned comics & graphic novels.
If you are looking for some resources to spread the word or to run events, you should head over to the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund website where they have lots of stuff including two free downloadable posters you can print up to help promote BBW. I did the design above.
Oh yeah, and something else you could do for BBW is read Americus, by MK Reed and myself, which is all about book banning, censorship, and coming of age.
Come fight the good fight with us at the JC store on Tuesday.
