 Information Literacy: A Role for Everyone
http://www.libraries.psu.edu/crsweb/infolit/everyone.htm
**Note link above may no longer be available from the site**
This was a presentation of a ACLCP 1999 Fall meeting.

ABSTRACT: Promotion of information literacy and development of an
information literacy program in an academic setting is an institutional
issue for the college or university, as well as the library. Information
literacy programs require inclusion not only of faculty and staff throughout
the institution, but also of staff in all library departments. How does one
inform and engage all library employees in this effort? This session
explores ways in which library employees can support an information literacy
program and suggests that programs will be stronger if members of all
library departments participate, ensuring that the entire organization is
working toward a common institution-wide goal of information literacy.
Building on discussion at a regional library meeting of librarians and
staff, this session presents ideas about ways to include all staff members
and invites continued discussion.

The toolkit points educators to free, high quality resources that help address the digital divide in the classroom and community. The toolkit, edited by Joy Wallace, senior associate at the National Institute for Community Innovations, is made possible in part through funding from the U.S. Department of Education's PT3 (Preparing Tomorrow's Teachers to use Technology) and Technology Innovation Challenge Grant programs. We are committed to continually enhancing the toolkit's contents; therefore, you may want to consider revisiting the toolkit at least monthly as new resources are added each week.

LIBRARY SCAVENGER HUNTS 

Use Library Scavenger Hunts -
to introduce patrons to Library Services
and demonstrating how to "use" the Library.

The following websites are just a "few" examples of Scavenger Hunts
that you can learn from
and adapt to your own Library situation.
NOTE: Excerpts are quoted for the individual websites.

This scavenger hunt is meant as a basic introduction to the library services--
both online and off-- you will be using over the next five years. 
You will be given a quiz grade for the activity, but remember 
that the goal is for you to explore and get familiar with
resources so you can better decide which to use when 
research projects come up in any of your classes.
http://mciunix.mciu.k12.pa.us/~spjvweb/libscav.html

This hunt has been designed to help middle-school students learn to use
library resources in their research. 
The hunt has been divided into nine sections. 
Students may do all sections in order or may be 
assigned individual sections to complete. 
While this scavenger hunt has been primarily designed for web use, 
an abridged printable scavenger hunt is available.
http://www.mowyn.com/scavenger/

Library Scavenger Hunt
Demonstrate that you can use the library successfully
by answering these questions. 
You may work in pairs, although the write-up of
your findings must be your own. 
Keep in mind that you can answer some of these questions 
in several different "correct" ways. 
http://psy1.clarion.edu/jms/libraryquiz.html

Rules: Complete as many of these questions as you can in one hour. 
Since one of the purposes of this exercise is to learn from each other,
you must stay with your group.

Scavenger Hunt Makeovers
Faculty often assign library scavenger hunts as a way of familiarizing
their students with library resources. 
Often these scavenger hunts are good for fact-finding,
but do not teach students to interact with resources. 
Here is an example of a scavenger hunt that has been
modified by a faculty member and a librarian to
incorporate research skills like analysis and evaluation.

Reviews
From Booknews
For techno-stressed librarians, the authors address the pressing questions of what to do, how to do it, when to do it, and how to measure success. They overview core issues in information literacy instruction (ILI), then discuss learning theory, library anxiety, critical thinking and active learning; planning and delivering ILI; and the future of ILI. Chapters contain self-tests, sample scenarios and forms, and further reading. The CD-ROM offers supporting instructional materials (e.g., Web pages, and a teaching with technology checklist).
