INFOBASE’S INFORMATION LITERACY TOOLKIT

Infobase’s Information Literacy Toolkit


INFOBASE’S INFORMATION LITERACY TOOLKIT



INFOBASE’S INFORMATION LITERACY TOOLKIT

Information literacy forms the basis for lifelong learning. It is common to all
disciplines, to all learning environments, and to all levels of education. It
enables learners to master content and extend their investigations, become more
self-directed, and assume greater control over their own learning.
Scroll down for resources that celebrate and support diversity—and so much
more!—at all levels, covering:
 * Digital Citizenship
 * News Literacy
 * Identifying Misinformation
 * Election Coverage
 * Critical-Thinking & Research Skills

DATABASES 101: EMBEDDING DATABASE INSTRUCTION INTO THE CLASSROOM—GOING BEYOND
INFORMATION LITERACY

JOIN US JAN. 10TH!

How many students hear, “Don’t use Google! Use a database!” and immediately open
a Google tab anyway? Students have used Google for all of their lives and
naturally want to use what they’re familiar with. Databases, while often just as
easy to use as Google, sometimes require instruction to show students how to get
the most out of them. Given how the best databases feature vetted
information—far superior to the questionable grab bag of Google—it is well worth
taking a little time to show students how to use them. Teachers may feel
hesitant to add this instruction to an already jam-packed curriculum. Join
librarian and teacher Jamie Gregory as she shows you the basics of how you can
use databases to your advantage in both the classroom and the school library.

CREATING EQUITABLE CLASSROOM LIBRARIES: CORE PRINCIPLES FROM SCHOOL LIBRARIANS

While classroom teachers understand the importance and impact of classroom
libraries, recent waves of book censorship create confusion and fear about the
materials they make available to students. To ensure thoughts and opinions can
be communicated without the banning of books, who better to turn to than your
school librarian? Join librarian and teacher Jamie Gregory to learn how to
ensure that equity, diversity, and intellectual freedom are the foundations of
your classroom library, and how you can be confident in the face of book
censorship.

DEBUNKING & PREBUNKING: STRATEGIES FOR LIBRARIANS TO COMBAT MISINFORMATION

Interest in combating misinformation has exploded in the past decade, and many
scholars and public figures have claimed that libraries should play an important
role in slowing the spread of false claims. However, much of the research around
correcting misinformation comes from other fields, such as psychology and
education. Researchers have begun to develop debunking and “prebunking”
strategies for misinformation that do not seem to have widespread adoption among
librarians. Join Mandi Goodsett, Performing Arts & Humanities Librarian at
Cleveland State University, and Evan Meszaros, Research & Engagement Librarian
at Case Western Reserve University, as they describe misinformation
interventions from the literature, as well as how this research can be used to
improve instruction & programming on misinformation and more!

REDESIGNING RESEARCH: INFORMATION NONOVERLOAD!

If you want to amp up the research project game and leave behind the traditional
PowerPoint and lecture, join librarian Naomi Bates as she navigates through a
new perspective on teaching how to research that is based on participation and
information NONoverload. In one lesson, students can become engaged in a
research project while learning all about how to navigate through information
from databases.

THE NEW BASICS: PRACTICAL APPROACHES TO MEDIA AND NEWS LITERACY

Educators in today’s world are well aware of the importance of media and news
literacy but may feel overwhelmed, intimidated, or even unsupported when
contemplating how to incorporate these concepts into their classrooms. School
librarians are prepared to advocate for such instruction, but the ever-evolving
information landscape may make such instruction a daunting undertaking. Join us
for this webinar, where award-winning librarian and teacher Jamie Gregory
provides tips on how to navigate that changing landscape.

Serving All Communities: Navigating the Banned Books, Censorship & Intellectual
Freedom Debates


A DISCUSSION WITH EDUCATION LEADERS

We are living in a time when freedom of speech, intellectual freedom, and the
rights of individuals are vigorously debated daily. Local opinions about what
books can be read and what words can be spoken are destabilizing forces in the
day to day of educators and librarians across the country. Whether personally
agreeing or disagreeing with the political machinations in individual towns and
cities, librarians and educators still need to support every student, parent,
and community member as their professions require. But how? Join us for a panel
discussion with library and education leaders where we share firsthand
experiences and strategies to navigate these turbulent political times. Bring
your questions, share your stories, and join the conversation.

FREE LATERAL READING WORKSHOP


LEARN HOW TO USE THIS IMPORTANT STRATEGY!

Teaching Information Evaluation with Lateral Reading, with Jenny Dale,
Information Literacy Coordinator at UNCG.

Recent research has shown that lateral reading—the act of leaving a source to
learn more about the source—is an efficient and effective first step in
evaluating online sources. It helps us understand the sources we come across
better because it puts sources in context, and adding this strategy to our
source evaluation toolkit can help us identify potential issues with sources and
avoid misinformation. Come learn why it’s important and how you can integrate it
into your media literacy classes, training sessions, programs, and/or curricula.

PRACTICAL STRATEGIES FOR TEACHING ABOUT HEALTH MISINFORMATION

Health misinformation is rampant in today’s information environment, and it is
especially difficult to approach in the classroom. Medical and scientific topics
are inherently complex and nuanced. Misinformation can come in many different
formats, from memes to viral videos to articles. And certain health and medical
topics—particularly vaccines—have become politicized. All these factors create
potential pitfalls for educators who are trying to equip their students with
critical-thinking skills.

In this webinar, Vanessa Otero—founder of Ad Fontes Media, which produces the
famous Media Bias Chart®—will cover practical strategies for teaching about
health misinformation. She will demonstrate how you can help students spot
common rhetorical devices in misinformation content and then go over specific,
current examples of such content. Analyzing real content will leave you feeling
prepared to both tackle medical rumors and conspiracies with your students
head-on and teach them how to find reliable health information.

SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL FOUR WAYS TO IMPROVE DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP EDUCATION (K–12)

Digital citizenship skills are essential, and that’s particularly true now that
many students are learning online during the pandemic. Yet, a School Library
Journal survey, sponsored by Infobase, of K–12 educators and librarians across
the U.S. suggests that schools aren’t focusing enough attention on teaching
students how to become responsible digital citizens


SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL PREPARING STUDENTS FOR LIFELONG SUCCESS (K–12)

Many college freshmen lack basic information literacy skills. To get an idea of
what stands behind these shortcomings, we worked with secondary school
librarians to gain their insight into the literacy gap and its possible
solutions. In this white paper, school librarians share how they meet the
challenges of teaching Information Literacy. Learn about the importance of IL
skills for college prep and how to improve them.
