| contents | Breaking into Communities of Practice Huwe, Terence K. Information Literacy Electronic Libraries Computer Mediated Communication Internet The library profession has made big advances in advocating for information literacy. High-profile initiatives, such as ACRL's comprehensive strategies, have helped attract the attention of teachers, administrators, and policy-makers. The University of California Academic Senate recently endorsed information literacy as a vital issue. In this article, the author argues that relationship building is crucial for success in pushing the information literacy paradigm. There are compelling reasons to regard communities of practice as new zones for innovative reference and instruction, particularly as online learning matures within higher education. Just as digital technologies tend to converge, reference and teaching are converging and becoming more immersive. Furthermore, the author provides two strategies which will trigger some strategic thinking that may help immerse oneself in one's user communities--one is new and trendy, the other is old and dull. In summary, the author believes that information literacy as a movement depends just as much on relationships as it does on policy statements and resolutions. |
