Strom, Claire; Strom, Phoebe; Walton, Rachel; Ewing, Hannah – History Teacher, 2023
In 2014, at Rollins College, a liberal arts college in central Florida, the history department completely revised its curriculum.

Roberts, Linds – Communications in Information Literacy, 2021
Increasingly librarians are interested in how the community of practice (CoP) framework can provide a more complete picture of how information literacy practices are influenced by situated and social learning. Doctoral students are socialized into the practices of the academy and gradually take on the identity and work of a scholar in their field.…

Information scholars, educators and librarians have grappled with defining the concept of information literacy for decades--at least as far back as the 1970's--with the most prominent common thread being as a set of skills. In pedagogy and practice, what higher education currently calls information literacy is delivered more akin to research…

Fister, Barbara – Project Information Literacy, 2021
As "research it yourself" becomes a rallying cry for promoters of outlandish conspiracy theories with real-world consequences, educators need to think hard about what's missing from their information literacy efforts. Setting aside the fact that the people most likely to share misinformation haven't been in a classroom for decades, most…

Mark N. Lenker III – Communications in Information Literacy, 2023
Librarians and teachers encourage students to include expert perspectives in their research, but recent public discourse includes high-profile examples of experts being inconsistent or wrong, and recent studies suggest that public trust in experts is declining. Waning trust makes it difficult to teach information literacy: I can push students to…

Heather MacDonald; Veronic Bezaire – Advances in Physiology Education, 2024
Information literacy skills are an important part of research skills for undergraduate science students. This case study presents a novel approach to developing these types of research skills. By deconstructing the research process into separate steps, explicitly defining, and practicing the skills involved, students can progressively develop…

Sarah van Ingen Lauer; Susan Ariew – portal: Libraries and the Academy, 2024
This article describes how and why the Dunning-Kruger effect, in which novice students fail to recognize their own lack of research skills, often occurs with the one-shot library instruction mode. In contrast, we offer a holistic model of instruction that emphasizes closer information literacy connections to higher education curricula. Through…
