<span><span class="">Sherrer</span></span> Memorial <span class="">Lecture</span>
in Library Service will take place on Friday, September 20 at 3pm in
Smith Hall on the campus of Lewis & Clark College. A reception will
follow the <span class="">lecture</span>.<br>
<br><b>Alison J. Head,</b> Executive Director of <a href="http://projectinfolit.org/">Project Information Literacy</a> will present<b> "What Librarians and Faculty Should Know about Today's Students and their Research Practices."</b><br>
<h3><font><span style="font-weight:normal">"How do today's students find information and
conduct research for coursework and use in their everyday lives? Discover
what we have learned at Project Information Literacy (PIL), an ongoing
research study that has surveyed and interviewed more than 13,000 college
students at over 50 US colleges and universities since 2008. Our findings
indicate a large majority of students still attend college to learn, but
many are lost in a thicket of information overload. Nearly all students
intentionally use a small compass for navigating the ever-widening
and complex information landscape they inhabit. They struggle with managing
the IT devices that permeate their lives and endlessly distract them.
Most students turn to professors, friends, family members - or no one at
all - for help with research, rather than asking librarians. What's a
librarian to do? Key takeaways are presented from the PIL studies, including
a discussion of their implications for teaching, learning, work, and
librarianship in the 21st century."</span></font></h3>
