A new regular venture on Infolit iSchool, in the virtual world Second Life (SL),
is a journal club, discussing a different article (on information literacy /
information behaviour) every month.First meeting of the Journal Club is next
week. You need a SL avatar, and SL browser installed, to participate.
When: Wednesday September 29th, 12 noon SL time (which = 8pm UK time, see
http://tinyurl.com/2g4tkvo for times elsewhere)
Where: Infolit iSchool, Second Life
http://slurl.com/secondlife/Infolit%20iSchool/126/239/21/
Pancha Enzyme leads a discussion based on the article:
Kuhlthau, C. C., Heinström, J. & Todd, R. J. (2008) "The 'information search
process' revisited: Is the model still useful?." Information Research
[ejournal], 13(4), paper 335. [Available at
http://InformationR.net/ir/13-4/paper355.html]
In preparation for the journal club discussion on 29 September, 12noon SLT,
please read the above article. We hope this will be a relatively quick paper to
read, and will also be thought-provoking.
Pancha will start by summarising the paper very briefly in voice and text chat,
then there will be a discussion in text chat.
Here are some questions to think about - and you may have many more!
* What strengths or weaknesses do you see in this paper?
* What is/are the purpose/s of the Information Search Process model according to
the authors, and do the findings of the paper support the/se purpose/s?
* What links, if any, do you see between the ISP model and Information Literacy
Standards?
