How College Students seek information : Report
http://ow.ly/Lni1 How College Students seek information in the digital age. A report of findings from 2,318 respondents to a survey carried out among college students on six campuses distributed across the U.S. in the spring of 2009, as part of Project Information Literacy. The findings suggest that students conceptualize research, especially tasks associated with seeking information, as a competency learned by rote, rather than as an opportunity to learn, develop, or expand upon an information-gathering strategy which leverages the wide range of resources available to them in the digital age. |

The high cost of not finding information
http://www.kmworld.com/Articles/ReadArticle.aspx?ArticleID=9534 The high cost of not finding information We know that roughly 50% of most Web searches are abandoned. That translates into 50% fewer online sales, 50% more frustrated customers trying to solve a problem or get information, and 50% more phone calls that must be handled by a person rather than by automatic systems. At an average cost of $5 per phone call as opposed to less than $1 per automated call or mere pennies for finding an answer online, that is expensive. This page also gives some useful examples of where money was wasted through wrong information being found or given |

Mankato Schools Information Literacy Curriculum Guidelines
http://www.isd77.k12.mn.us/resources/infocurr/ Mankato Schools Information Literacy Curriculum Guidelines These guidelines have been developed to help insure that all graduates of Mankato schools will have a variety of experiences using information and technology. These experiences will allow students to demonstrate mastery of a comprehensive group of specific skills. Teaching information skills is the joint responsibility of the building library media specialist and the classroom teacher. Information and technology skills are most meaningful when taught within a subject area, within an inter-disciplinary unit, or as part of an activity that addresses an authentic, real-life need or problem. Thoughtful planning and cooperation among all teachers and media specialists are essential. |

http://21cif.com/ 21st Century Information Fluency Project Portal Welcome to the 21st Century Information Fluency (21cif) Portal. This site provides news, information, tools, and standards-aligned instructional strategies for information literacy/fluency in K-16 21st Century Information Fluency is a sub-set of Information Literacy that might best be described as a combination of aspects of Information Literacy and Technology Literacy that people need to locate, evaluate and use digital information resources efficiently and effectively. We call it ?luency?rather than ?iteracy?to emphasize that the abilities involved are more than basic abilities. But we know that there is a spectrum of abilities ranging from basic literacy to the more advanced levels we call fluency. Our goal is to help people move along that scale no matter where they start. To do that we need to understand just what it is that people need to know and be able to do to achieve 21st Century Information Fluency. On the basis of our investigations we have created a description that serves to guide us as we develop learning materials, tools and experiences designed to help others become fluent.. Ours is only one way of organizing this information. It is intended as a practical guide more than a theoretical construct. information | literacy | skills | |

Experts ponder Internet's future
http://www.stanford.edu/dept/news/report/news/february7/siepr_new-27.html Experts ponder Internet's future Conference attendees also got to hear a boiled-down version of a University of California-Berkeley study on how much information the world produces a year. Hal Varian, dean of the School of Information Management and Systems at Berkeley, concluded that each person on earth produces about 250 megabytes of information a year -- roughly the size of 250 600-page books. Varian said printed documents comprise only 0.003 percent of the total, and magnetic storage is by far the largest medium for storing information. Digital content comprises the largest amount of information and is the fastest growing. "While unique content on print and film are hardly growing at all, optical and digital magnetic storage shipments are doubling each year," the study said. While computer servers can store all that information, the real challenge is that "new information is doubling every year and time spent on information consumption is not increasing." Managing that information, he said, "is really the challenge of the next 20 years." |

Information Skills Integration Strategies
http://www.ncpublicschools.org/curriculum/Information/strategies/index.html Information Skills Integration Strategies for Grades K-5 The intent of this Elementary Integration Strategies document is to provide tried and true strategies, activities and ideas for media coordinators and classroom teachers as they teach the essential knowledge and skills that prepare students to locate, analyze, evaluate, interpret, and communicate information and ideas in an information-intensive environment. Authentic practice of these skills enables students to realize their potential as informed citizens who think critically and solve problems, to observe rights and responsibilities relating to the generation and flow of information and ideas, and to appreciate the value of literature in an educated society. The Elementary Information Skills Integration Strategies Support Document was designed and developed by North Carolina educators, system-level and school-based media coordinators, to support the K-12 Information Skills Standard Course of Study. information | skills | literacy | management | |

NoodleTools - 21st Century Literacies
http://www.noodletools.com/debbie/ NoodleTools - 21st Century Literacies - Tools for Reading the World In Intelligence Reframed Howard Gardner contends that ?iteracies, skills, and disciplines ought to be pursued as tools that allow us to enhance our understanding of important questions, topics, and themes.? Today's readers become literate by learning to read the words and symbols in today's world and its antecedents. They analyze, compare, evaluate and interpret multiple representations from a variety of disciplines and subjects, including texts, photographs, artwork, and data. They learn to choose and modify their own communication based on the rhetorical situation. Point of view is created by the reader, the audience and the medium.
