Information Literacy: the library and the academy
We had a great turnout for the Information Literacy talk given by Lyod Mbabu last week. The event, the first in a series co-sponsored by Librarians' Forum and the Instructor College, featured Patricia Yocum offering a summary of what the library literature tells us about critical competencies for librarian instructors, and Loyd Mbabu describing the findings of his dissertation, "A content analysis of information literacy courses in master's degree programs of library and information studies".
If you were unable to attend, Loyd and Patricia's slides are available through the following Instuctor College website.

The discussion on this topic, which was interesting and lively at the talk, continues on the Librarians' Forum blog at the following URL. Look for the entry, Information Literacy Instruction in LIS, and follow the comments.
