Information Literacy

To create a forum where instructional design librarians and others interested in instructional design can meet and share ideas, discuss and recommend resources and tools, discuss issues related to instructional design in libraries and collaborate on projects.

To promote continuing education among instruction librarians so that we can get closer to our universal vision of information literate students, faculty, staff, and society.

Hosted by the AASL/ACRL Interdivisional Committee on Information Literacy, this community is a place for sharing ideas, resources, and information. We want to use the power of community to make this THE place to go to promote the seamless integration of information literacy from K-12 education through college.

This group is created in the belief that providing opportunities for library users to gain technological, digital, information and media literacies through technology programming is as important as providing storytimes and homework help services. In fact, it could be said that technology programs are simply storytimes for 21st century learners.

A group for those interested in government information (federal, state, local, and international).

Various topics of interest include depository libraries, government information collections, open access, transparency, and preservation of government information, E-government, Government 2.0, and using social networks to collect and disseminate government information and more!

The goal of this community is to investigate and explicate the effects of colonialism on Information Literacy.  There has been little reseach in this area and it is fertile for projects.  This community is a place to network, bounce ideas, discuss, and collaborate on projects that have to do with Information Literacy and Colonialism.
