Graduation is a board game designed to teach the frame "Information Has Value" from the Association of College and Research Libraries' Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education (2015). Created by students in ISI 6372 Information Literacy at the University of Ottawa, Winter 2020.

Applying the latest research to a clinical question is a vital skill for any evidence-based practitioner. These five Health Research Readiness modules introduce you to essential health information resources and equip you with the skills to efficiently find, evaluate, and reference them. Relevant for undergraduates, postgraduates, or anyone wanting to improve their health sciences information skills.
The five modules include:
Module A: Sources of information
Module B: Types of information
Module C: Searching
Module D: Evaluating information
Module E: Referencing

This project provides a model for engaging students in an investigation of authentic materials from the past. The students will be provided with four primary sources and questions to guide their investigation. A wealth of other primary resources can be accessed on the websites listed in the reference section.

A Twine choose your own adventure flipbook that teaches students the concept of authority from the "Authority is Constructed and Contextual" frame, as outlined in the Association for College and Research Libraries' (ACRL) Framework for Information Literacy in Higher Education (2015). Created by students in ISI 6372 Information Literacy at the University of Ottawa, Winter 2020.

This is an 8 week experience for the college student that begins by setting a learning context through using library resources, especially online databases, for locating images and art that reflect a chosen research topic and creating a mural that demonstrates the students’ comprehension of the chosen topic. The experience includes conducting research on 3 significant events or people in women’s US history. The written research will be accompanied by images or art that the student has chosen (described) as reflective of, or related to the researched event or person. In order to determine the students’ level of information literacy, the research will include a detailed description of how the students located the images. The students will also draw or describe a personalized sketch of one of the researched events or people. The culmination of the research is the design and painting of a collaborative mural depicting the students' research topics.

This Reusable Learning Object (RLO) was created out of the desire to infuse university courses with information literacy or research activities. A traditional research project on significant events or people in history is enhanced with the discovery and analyzing of art and images within the context of history. Analysis not only includes written text but the painting of a mural. The RLO is structured in a way that allows for easy replication and alteration to a variety of subjects and learning levels.

A brief introduction to Information Literacy that includes research and source types.Videos are close-captioned.

In today's information society a person is not in dearth of information but is suffering from information overload. It is most important to be able to get the right information at the right time. Information Literacy is a set of skills that can help a person to identify his/her information needs, search and locate the right information, and use it effectively. This module is developed for undergraduate students, to help the students to understand the what and why of information literacy.  

The intent of this OER is twofold: to offer a free or low cost quality text to our students in a one-unit information literacy course and to offer a starting place to anyone who wishes to develop their own class or OER. It is intentional that this text is not San Diego City College specific because the skills we teach in our LIBS 101, and are reflected in this OER, are transferable skills. This allows students to take what they learn here and apply it to any information need in any environment: academia, careers, life-long learning, bar bets, or what have you. It is not an attempt to be a comprehensive book on information literacy, but rather a brief overview in support of this one-unit class.

During your studies you will frequently be asked to write a paper. For such a paper you will need information, but how do you get it? What exactly do you need? Where can you find it? How do you go about it? Almost anyone can use Google, of course, but more is expected of a TU Delft student!
We challenge you to go beyond using the popular search engines. This instruction will help you discover what there is to learn about information skills.

This instruction follows on from the online instruction Information Literacy 1, in which you learned how to find, evaluate and use information. Today’s instruction is intended for advanced users.

This collection brings together scholarship and pedagogy from multiple perspectives and disciplines, offering nuanced and complex perspectives on Information Literacy in the second decade of the 21st century. Taking as a starting point the concerns that prompted the Association of Research Libraries (ACRL) to review the Information Literacy Standards for Higher Education and develop the Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education (2015), the chapters in this collection consider six frameworks that place students in the role of both consumer and producer of information within today's collaborative information environments. Contributors respond directly or indirectly to the work of the ACRL, providing a bridge between past/current knowledge and the future and advancing the notion that faculty, librarians, administrators, and external stakeholders share responsibility and accountability for the teaching, learning, and research of Information Literacy.

These exercises are originally part of the KLaSS module developed by King's College London Library Services to provide information literacy e-learning to students across our faculties. They were built and developed with Adobe Captivate 9 and published in HTML5 format, suitable for use with Moodle.This set of exercises is designed to provide information literacy support to students in the Faculty of Natural & Mathematical Sciences, which encompasses subjects like Informatics, Computer Science, Mathematics and Geography. The database used to demonstrate the principles is Web of Science, a broad resource holding literature on a wide variety of STEM subjects.The lessons cover the following topics:Planning an effective literature search - how to focus a research question and identify its key topics and componentsFinding literature - how to use different search techniques like truncation in Web of ScienceFinding full text articles in Web of Science - how to use the SFX system to look up the full texts of search results, and what to do if you don't immediately get accessWeb of Science Search Tips - using slightly more advanced techniques to run better searches, like using phrase searchingCombining searches in Web of Science - how to use AND & OR to broaden and refine seaches in Web of Science to retrieve relevant articles and informationFiltering search results in Web of Science - how to use Web of Science's filtering options to futhere refine results and exclude irrelevant articlesEach topic has a demonstration video, narrated by the author Tom Edge.The exercises have been published in HTML5 format so they should be compatible with any modern LMS. The authors have only used these files in Moodle 3.0, so cannot offer support for another LMS.

The Information Literacy User’s Guide introduces students to critical concepts of information literacy as defined for the information-infused and technology-rich environment in which they find themselves. This book helps students examine their roles as information creators and sharers and enables them to more effectively deploy related skills. This textbook includes relatable case studies and scenarios, many hands-on exercises, and interactive quizzes.

The project asks students to explore the connection between racial discrimination and racial disparities in U.S. prison populations using credible sources of information including qualitative and statistical methods. The resource was developed by a faculty member and librarian in order to promote using library resources in the classroom. It was designed to encourage information literacy among students.  

PubMed is a database on biomedicine, health and life sciences. In this module, you will learn how PubMed adapts and enhances your search when you execute a simple search, as well as how to use the MeSH database and field tags.
