Dear all,
As some of you might know, the CILIP Information Literacy Group is looking to undertake a light-touch review of the school support resource which it developed jointly with TeenTech early last year (http://www.teentech.com/teentech-awards/supporting-materials/). ILG is looking for assistance in identifying half a dozen schools that would be the subject of the review. It would be really helpful if any recipients of this message could provide advice about schools that have used the resources and that we might usefully approach.
To give you a bit of background, the resource take the form of ten attractively-produced leaflets, all available freely as pdf documents under a Creative Commons licence, which provide useful advice on information literacy and associated research skills, tailored particularly to school students from GCSE level upwards. Anecdotal feedback about the resources has generally been positive, but ILG would like a more formal view on the usefulness and applicability of the leaflets. The review will therefore consist of 30-40 minute interviews, in each of the schools, if possible with the librarian and a couple of relevant teachers; and of a very short and simple survey (no more than 3-4 questions) destined to a selection of students.
Would you be able to help in identifying some schools please? I’m happy to answer any questions, so please do feel free to get in touch. I should add that ILG is also enlisting the help of the CILIP School Libraries Group and of TeenTech itself – but it’s possible that, through your own involvements and contacts, you may be able to provide advice.
Thank you very much in anticipation!
Best wishes,
Stéphane
