- Librarians on the Verge of an Epistemological Breakdown Gunnels, Claire Research Skills Information Literacy Library Instruction Technology Integration Reference Materials Information Technology Electronic Libraries Influence of Technology Futures (of Society) Intellectual History Librarians Epistemology Library Services During the Enlightenment of eighteenth-century France, the encyclopedists created a systematic compilation of all human knowledge in order to dispel current disinformation imposed by kings and clergy. The resultant Encyclopedie has been considered the turning point of the Enlightenment, where knowledge became power and the power was made accessible to the people. This article explores the digital phenomenon of Web 2.0 and questions whether we are experiencing another epistemological shift similar to the Encyclopedie. It then discusses teaching information literacy and gives practical ways for community college librarians to incorporate Wikipedia, Google, and other digital sources into their instruction to teach research skills and critical thinking. (Contains 21 notes.)
