Science Information Literacy wiki

I think this is fairly new (started about a year ago) and it has a number of pages, for example a list of the ACRL Information Literacy standards with teaching tips; links to resources related to assessment. As you might guess, it it is focused on information literacy in scientific disciplines. The Science Information Literacy wiki is at http://wikis.ala.org/acrl/
index.php/Science_Information_Literacy
Additionally, there is an active group on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/pages/Science-Information-Literacy-Wiki/61526697085 which has "first wednesday" discussions.

Information Literacy in transition

Moira Bent's National Teaching Fellowship report sounds very interesting. There is the full text on the Newcastle University eprints server.
Bent, M. (2008) Perceptions of information literacy in the transition to higher education. (National Teaching Fellow Project Report). "The aim of this piece of research was to investigate the conflicts and congruencies between staff and student perceptions of information literacy in the transition to higher education, particularly in Chemistry and English. The project comprised four main strands: perceptions of information literacy, library and information aspects of the transition into Higher Education: study tours and networking, and the impact of the National Teaching Fellowship."

Information literacy in transition

I have been trying to catch up on other people's blogs ... there are some very useful posting on Moira Bent's. One of them is an article available for downloading free (you have to register - free - first).

Ben, M. (2008) "Information Literacy and the Transition from Secondary to Tertiary Education: Measuring Perceptions." Enhancing learning in the social sciences, 1 (1). http://www.eliss.org.uk/CurrentIssue/tabid/54/Default.aspx
Abstract "How people perceive information literacy and how they think others perceive it can affect how they teach and learn. The transition from secondary to tertiary education offers opportunities to develop information literate students. Variations in perceptions of information literacy in schools and universities in the UK and New Zealand are being investigated using phenomenographic techniques. The research focuses on students studying Chemistry or English in their final two years at school and their first year at university, their teachers and library staff."
