Hello all,

Apologies for the delayed posting of my readings.

For the March 9 seminar meeting, I would like to ask you to read Jeff Maehre’s “What It Means to Ban Wikipedia.” My topic for the seminar is information literacy and the internet because in my own classroom I struggle with how to teach students to be critical consumers of information they find online.

I would like to ask you to think about the following questions:

• What does it mean for a student to be information literate in your discipline, or in your class?
  The Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) has published guidelines on information literacy in general discipline areas
  Science and Engineering/Technology
  Anthropology and Sociology
  Literatures in English
  Political Science
• What guidelines do you give students for conducting library and internet research?
• Is information literacy taught in your class? If so, how?
• What’s your Wikipedia policy?

Look forward to talking with y’all,

Erin
