Introduction and Open Forum on new ACRL Information Literacy Framework
ACRL (Association of College and Research Libraries) has been working for over a year to completely overhaul the Information Literacy Standards for Higher Education which were published in 2000, prior to the social web. That reframing has come to us in a number of drafts. The 3rd draft (Nov. 12, 2014) is probably going to be fairly close to the final draft. http://acrl.ala.org/ilstandards/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Framework-for...
The new Framework is a living, interconnected document meant to develop over time through these broad frame sets.
These are the 6 frames:
- Authority Is Constructed and Contextual
- Information Creation as a Process
- Information Has Value
- Research as Inquiry
- Scholarship Is a Conversation
- Searching Is Strategic
Each frame has the core “threshold concept” being address in the information field, “knowledge practices” (ways in which students can increase their understanding of these concepts), and “dispositions” (dealing with the affective domain, attitude and value concerning the concept).
Information Literacy will continue to become essential to learning as some learning moves away from “filling our heads” with knowledge and facts, and more towards our ability to navigate and find quality information sources AND engage with those sources to make decisions, create points of view, take positions, and think critically about ideas.
“Information literacy is a spectrum of abilities, practices, and habits of mind that extends and deepens learning through engagement with the information ecosystem.”
Join the COD Librarians in a discussion about the New Information Literacy Framework for Higher Education and how we can work together to best help our students understand the importance of being literate about the information ecosystem as we see it now and in the future, what it does to learning, and how best to use and navigate through it. If you are able to review the document prior to the meeting, that would be great, but NOT required.
Tuesday March 10th at 10:30 am and Wednesday March 11th at 2:30pm in the Library Seminar Room, SRC 3114

Reference Books
Why Reference Sources?
Is your research topic too big to cover in a short paper? Is your topic so specific that sources will be hard to find?
Before you even begin your research, start the process with reference sources-- in the Library's Reference Section or online in our databases. Reference books, like subject encyclopedias, can give you a head start and make your research easier in the long run. Use reference sources to:
- find a topic
- narrow your topic
- find keywords
- get background information on your topic

"3 Things about Information Literacy"
Jenn Kelley
COD "TED" Talks
January 13, 2015
IL Program Timeline
"Information literacy is a spectrum of abilities, practices, and habits of mind that extends and deepens learning through engagement with the information ecosystem. It includes
▪ understanding essential concepts about that ecosystem;
▪ engaging in creative inquiry and critical reflection to develop questions and to find, evaluate, and manage information through an iterative process;
▪ creating new knowledge through ethical participation in communities of learning, scholarship, and civic purpose; and
▪ adopting a strategic view of the interests, biases, and assumptions present in the information ecosystem."
Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education. Draft 3. November 2014.
The mission of the Library's Information Literacy Instruction Program is to teach students to be effective users and producers of ideas and information.The program provides students with varied opportunities for acquiring the needed knowledge and skills to become information literate.
The following represents major projects (2008 through 2014) undertaken by COD librarians in support of the Instruction Program's mission and strategic goals.

College of DuPage Library has a long and successful history of providing information literacy instruction to the more than 26,000 students who attend COD every semester. Under decades of leadership by ACRL Community and Junior College Libraries Section Program Award winner Diana Fitzwater, the COD Library’s Instruction Program was expanded to include a successful IL course for faculty. Faculty members who completed this course received mentorship from their liaison librarians and formed lasting partnerships with the library.
The resulting buy-in from teaching faculty has been the foundation of the success of our current Instruction Program-- annually, College of DuPage’s nine faculty instruction librarians provide 1000 one-shot instruction sessions reaching approximately 18,000 students.
Additionally, since 2001, the Library has offered free information literacy and research skills workshops to students, faculty, staff and community members. For over a decade, the SOS Workshop series has provided our patrons with co-curricular instruction in everything from employing advanced search techniques to using Google for research; navigating Yahoo! directories to creating Delicious linkrolls; citing sources to creating websites with Wordpress.
More recently, the Library’s Instruction program has expanded exponentially, largely to accommodate the to the rapid growth of the COD’s Online College, but also in response to the needs of our students, the changing environment of information and the physical changes of our Library as we entered a two-year renovation program. In order to provide information literacy instruction to our distance learners as well as our population of working, commuting, and otherwise busy students, we have begun to explore and employ multiple modes of delivery.
With the institutional acquisition of the Adobe Connect web conferencing system, we have added webinars to our SOS program and can easily provide synchronous online instruction to online and off-campus students. One of the most exciting developments from within the Instruction Program, however, has been the introduction and adoption of Information Literacy Modules. Designed to support the inclusion of the College’s Information Literacy General Education Outcomes in courses, the six units that comprise the IL Modules are available for instructors to import into any Blackboard course shell.
Since their creation in 2010, over 400 students have used the IL Modules in face-to-face and online courses ranging from English to Economics. With the support of teaching faculty, the Modules provide basic information literacy instruction to entire classes that may never come to the Library as well as foundational instruction to on-campus classes, allowing librarians to introduce higher-level research skills in one-shot sessions.

Creating Your APA-Style Bibliography
Bibliography Tools
There are a tons of tools available to help you create your bibliography. You can create your bib by hand using the examples on the Citing Sources page or you can use an online citation generator. The Library provides access to NoodleBib. You can also use free web tools like Zotero, bibme, or citation machine. How you create your bibliography is up to you, just make sure it is in correct APA Style.
OMG What are Parenthetical References???
In the body of the text you are writing, references are included in parentheses. Also known as in-text citations. You note your source in parentheses within or at the end of a sentence that includes information from your source.
Like so:
[A direct quote:] Cote (2015) stated, "Hey, I know some super interesting things" (pg.1).
[Paraphrasing:] In a paper about things, Cote (2015) said some stuff that was super interesting.
[Also paraphrasing:] Some interesting stuff was said in a paper about things (Cote, 2015).
Visit this page from Penn State Libraries for more details on in-text citations in APA Style.
