Project Infolit: Interview with Barbara Fister

Barbara Fister is a writer, blogger and a teacher of information literacy, and she is Professor and Academic Librarian at Gustavas Adolphus College, USA. She always has interesting things to say, so it is worth reading the interview with her, just published as part of Project Information Literacy. She talks, for example, about the a Reading Workshop and "an upper-division class called Information Fluency" that she runs at the college. http://www.projectinfolit.org/st/fister.asp
