What do we teach when we teach information literacy in higher education? This paper describes a pedagogical approach to information literacy that helps instructors focus content around transformative learning thresholds. The threshold concept framework holds promise for librarians because it grounds the instructor in the big ideas and underlying concepts that make information literacy exciting and worth learning about. This paper looks at how this new idea relates to existing standards and posits several threshold concepts for information literacy.
Threshold concepts are a theory of teaching and learning proposed by two British
educators, Jan Meyer and Ray Land. Threshold concepts can be used for teaching information literacy and could inform the Standards revision as well. There are five definitional criteria that make a concept a threshold concept
The aim of this article is to discuss some of the challenges and possibilities that librarians may face when engaging in faculty-library collaboration. The main objective is to present findings from two case studies of embedded librarianship at Gjøvik University College (GUC) and to compare these findings with results from a literature review. The literature review is concentrated around collaboration challenges, a possible role-expansion for librarians, team-teaching and assessment of information skills courses. Another objective is to present two pedagogical approaches that are in use at GUC; the tutor approach and the team-teaching approach. Findings from the case studies suggest that faculty staff were impressed with the librarian’s knowledge and they quickly became comfortable with team-teaching and/or leaving the librarian in charge of the students. However there were concerns from both the teacher and librarian about the time-consuming nature of collaborative work. This paper contributes to the literature through a literature review, two case studies and teaching approaches that highlight factors leading to success when collaborating with faculty.
This article provides an overview of the design, implementation, revision and informal assessment of an information literacy curriculum embedded in a new University Foundations (UF) program at a mid-sized public university. The library information literacy sessions incorporated team-based learning and Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning (POGIL) elements using iPads. Each session provided students an opportunity to develop and apply information literacy skills, and included critical thinking questions which led students to think about underlying concepts. A focus group with the librarians assessed the UF library curriculum, its impact on student engagement, and the training activities for librarian teaching preparation.
Excellent opportunities for promoting information literacy are available when librarians become collaborators in integrative learning initiatives, such as Writing Across the Curriculum, the Freshman Year Experience, and Learning Communities. Examples of successful collaborations are given. It is noted that the most significant challenge that remains involves assessment of information literacy in these programs.
In the technological world of the Twenty-first Century, students must be information literate. They must have the skills to access, evaluate, and utilize information needed in their undergraduate experience and in their future endeavors. It is important for Geography majors to acquire these skills as part of their undergraduate education. At one institution of higher learning, information literacy learning is embedded in the Geography curriculum. An online instrument to assess information literacy skills is used to evaluate seniors. In this article, goals for information literacy, the creation of the information literacy assessment instrument and the results of assessment testing are discussed.

Dieses Netzwerk dient als Basis für das zweite Educamp auf deutschem Boden und gleichzeitig das erste internationale Educamp (10.-12.Okt.2008). Es ist die Nachfolgeveranstaltung des ersten EduCamp, welches vom 18. - 20. April 2008 an der Technischen Universität in Ilmenau in Thüringen (nahe Erfurt) stattfand. Hier versammelten sich Knowledge-Worker, Wissenschaftler, Entscheider, Agenturen und Studierende, die sich mit innovativen Formen, Formaten, Technologien, Strategien etc. des mediengestützten Lernens auseinandersetzen.
Es gab im Voraus bereits einige Ideen für das Programm, jedoch findet ein EduCamp nach dem BarCamp-Prinzip (Wiki-Link) statt, das heißt, die konkreten Sessions und Vorträge werden erst vor Ort festgelegt und jeder kann ein Thema mitbringen.
Hier z.B. ein konkreter Lesetipp: Jean-Pol Martin hat in der Wikversity einen lesenswerten Text veröffentlicht, der auch hier in den Foren schon diskutiert, auf dem EduCamp in zwei produktiven Sessions vertieft wurde und schließlich in die Planung gemeinsamer Zukunftsprojekte mündete: zum Text
