The next online online blog-comment information literacy Journal Club
meeting takes place at 8-9 pm UK time on Wednesday 24th July 2013 (see
http://tinyurl.com/ow3kfxz for start times elsewhere around the
world). It will take place on the Infolit Journal Club blog
http://infolitjournalclub.blogspot.com/, as a discussion in blog
comments.
The topic will be Barbara Fister's stimulating keynote paper, aimed at
academic librarians, presented at the LOEX (USA information literacy)
conference in May. The paper is online at:
Fister, B. (2013) Decode academy. Paper presented at LOEX, 3 May 2013.
http://homepages.gac.edu/~fister/loex13.pdf
In the paper, she makes some "outrageous claims" (e.g. "We should stop
teaching students how to find sources" "Very rarely are citations
needed") and everyone is welcome to come along and add as much or as
little as they want to the discussion ;-)
