| contents | From Lab to Library: The Web's Effect on Teaching the Internet. Lehman, Lisa Academic Libraries Computer Interfaces Curriculum Development Higher Education Information Literacy Information Science Education Information Seeking Information Skills Information Utilization Internet Library Instruction Online Systems Search Strategies Technological Advancement Technology Integration Thinking Skills User Needs (Information) World Wide Web Internet-oriented courses and teaching materials tend to focus on technology. A typical approach covers the basic services (terminal emulation, file transfer, gopher, etc.) and how to use the programs which support them. The development of integrated browsers which adapt to the different protocols of the Internet without the need for user knowledge or intervention has made this technological focus irrelevant for most students. As the Internet becomes less of a challenge to computer science it has become much more of a challenge to information science. Students now need to learn how to formulate strategies for finding information on the Internet and how to evaluate that information rather than concentrating on the mechanics of Internet tools. This shifts the focus for Internet education from computer literacy programs to library skills programs. This paper describes the evolution over time of an undergraduate course on the Internet and other online resources offered at the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF). In the future, there will be less emphasis on a class devoted exclusively to the Internet and more integration of Internet tools in the library's teaching efforts. The web and tools developing in response to it will allow educators to concentrate on the "why" rather than the "how." (Author/SWC) |
