13. Konference o profesionálních informačních zdrojích

Autor: Peter Godwin, University of Bedfordshire

Abstrakt:

Web generation students think they know how to use the internet and can’t see why they need to talk to a librarian. Trends in the USA showing a disconnection between libraries and students may be mirrored elsewhere in the world. Librarians can respond by judicious promotion of Google Scholar and new search engines, key gateways, alongside their subscription databases and hoped for ultimate metasearch engine. Web 2.0 has moved the agenda towards more interactive solutions for engaging our users. It has become the platform, so we can use tools formerly the exclusive province of technical wizards. This challenges us to become Web 2.0 literate ourselves. Web 2.0 should invoke changes to the content of our Information Literacy curriculum. The need to acknowledge the legitimacy of blogs and wikis as information sources will reinforce the importance of critical evaluation skills. Web 2.0 also gives us formidable new tools to use in Information Literacy teaching: Podcasts and YouTube as new methods of delivery; blogs and wikis can promote active learning ; social bookmarking and tagging is the sharing of resources. Addressing Web 2.0 is limited only by our own competence and imagination.
