| contents | Turning Techno-Savvy into Info-Savvy: Authentically Integrating Information Literacy into the College Curriculum Brown, Cecelia Murphy, Teri J. Nanny, Mark College Students College Curriculum Search Engines Information Literacy Internet Information Retrieval User Needs (Information) Learning Strategies Cognitive Style Library Instruction Resource Materials Information Seeking Online Searching It is no longer effective to provide information literacy instruction that is thought to be "good for" college students, but rather, instruction must focus on the learning styles and preferences of the target population. This case study reports a series of hands-on/minds-on information literacy activities that dissolve student's misconception that "techno-savvy" is synonymous with information literate. Careful and thorough instruction in the mining of popular Internet search engines for authoritative information was coupled with instruction in the use of traditional library resources. It was found that the college students studied possess a high need for clarity and a low tolerance for ambiguity, and therefore any activities assigned must be thoroughly, yet succinctly, described in order to achieve success. Combining traditional information literacy instruction with novel approaches appeals to the confidence in and reliance on Internet search engines that college students exhibit, while it moves this microcosm toward a higher level of information literacy and commitment to life long learning. |
