Give us your definition of information literacy: The ability to find, extract, synthesize and critically analyze information.

Brainstorm all the information literacy strategies you read about and/or know about as a group: -Using reference interviews as learning experiences (teaching patrons how to get information, not just finding it for them) - Use problem-based instruction sessions rather than lecture. (Give students a problem that requires particular skills to solve) - Use short stories/scenarios instead of lecture to directly involve participants. (Make them do something, and make the project interesting) -Show people what they can do and why they would want to do it! (Context!) -Collaborate with faculty (in academic sphere) to make use of both areas of expertise. (Faculty are trained teachers, librarians are information experts).
