> You are invited to submit proposed articles for a special issue of
>Academic Exchange Quarterly entitled "The Many Faces of Information
>Competence." The issue is co-edited by Michael Adams of the City
>University of New York Graduate Center and Mariana Regalado of Brooklyn
>College.
>
> Academic librarians are increasingly instructing targeted groups
>within the academic environment. Such groups include freshman learning
>communities, international students, graduate students, and faculty. Each
>of these groups is far from homogenous because of the diversity of their
>expectations of libraries and their information-seeking experiences. Even
>into the twenty-first century, many faculty members, for example, are
>reluctant to use electronic resources.
>
> How can we develop instruction programs that will address the shared
>needs of such groups and the diverse needs of individuals? What assessment
>tools are available to measure the success of such programs? How can we
>identify constituencies being underserved?
>
> Manuscripts are sought that describe successful (and even
>unsuccessful) approaches to information literacy for targeted groups
>and/or diverse populations in higher education. Manuscripts are also
>sought that report on quantitative or qualitative evaluations of the
>impact of information literacy programs, courses, and components of
>courses. A wide variety of approaches to this topic are sought.
>
> Academic Exchange Quarterly is a scholarly journal fostering
>education, career growth, and personal development for college and
>university faculty. Its current issue deals with "The Scholarship of
>Teaching and Learning," and recent issues have focused on such topics as
>assessment of academics, services, and administration and student
>perceptions, beliefs, and attitudes. Over 23,000 institutions and
>individuals subscribe to the print edition of Academic Exchange Quarterly,
>and it is available electronically from Expanded Academic ASAP and
>InfoTrac OneFile. Scholars from 263 colleges and universities in 44
>states and 22 foreign countries have published in the journal.
>
> Additional information is available at
>http://rapidintellect.com/AEQweb/fall03.htm.
>
> Submit proposals to Michael Adams at [log in to unmask] The
>manuscript deadline will be May 2003.
>
> Please share this message with any librarians or faculty members who
>may be interested.
