Hispanic Information Literacy

Alejandro Uribe Tirado has created a very useful site using Google Maps: Alfabetización Informacional - ALFIN Iberoamérica / Bibliotecas y Proyectos. This enables you to click on the name of a Hispanic university at the side: then it pops up showing uou where it is, and with links to their documents or projects on information literacy. http://bit.ly/9hu80u

Hispanic Information Literacy, and 7 pillars model

On Monday Information Literacy Week in Second Life was launched. One event was a Spanish-language discussion of information literacy, attended by people from a number of countries, including Colombia, Puerto Rico and Spain. The first picture shows the discussion. Alejandro Uribe Tirado had organised this event, and he has also launched a new blog, aimed at academics and librarians who work in Spain, Portugal or Latin America: called Alfabetización Informacional / Iberoamérica it is at http://alfiniberoamerica.blogspot.com/ (Alfabetización Informacional, or Alfin for short, is a Spanish translation of "Information Literacy)

My first year BSc Information Management students also had an exhibition: in a group exercise they had produced powerpoints which gave their solution to an information problem to do with swine flu. They then transferred this (with embellishments in some cases) to a 3D model of the SCONUL 7 Pillars of Information Literacy, in Second Life. There are 6 groups, so there are six of these models, linked to a central platform in the sky above our Second Life island, infolit iSchool.
