<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">I seldom post anything to OSLIST that is not specifically about OSLIS or the statewide databases (Gale and
<i>LearningExpress Library</i>). However, since OSLIS is an information literacy website, I feel it is appropriate to promote Information Literacy Month ideas via OSLIST. – Thanks, Jen<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:blue">In June, Governor Kitzhaber proclaimed
</span><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:#00B050">October 2012 Information Literacy Month</span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:blue"> in Oregon. This effort aligns with the National Forum on Information Literacy’s (NFIL) celebration of National
Information Literacy Awareness Month in October. As President Obama noted in the proclamation that made October 2009 National Information Literacy Awareness month,<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:12.0pt;margin-left:.5in">
<span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:blue">Though we may know how to find the information we need, we must also know how to evaluate it. Over the past decade, we have seen a crisis of authenticity emerge. We now live in a world where anyone can publish an opinion
or perspective, whether true or not, and have that opinion amplified within the information marketplace. At the same time, Americans have unprecedented access to the diverse and independent sources of information, as well as institutions such as libraries
and universities, that can help separate truth from fiction and signal from noise.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:blue">Our Nation's educators and institutions of learning must be aware of -- and adjust to -- these new realities. In addition to the basic skills of reading, writing, and arithmetic,
it is equally important that our students are given the tools required to take advantage of the information available to them. The ability to seek, find, and decipher information can be applied to countless life decisions, whether financial, medical, educational,
or technical.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:blue"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:blue">With that in mind, I want to share a few ideas for promoting information literacy next month (and beyond). This is just the start; look for a few more posts later.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:blue"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:blue">Define the Term<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:blue">We use the term <i>
information literacy</i> a lot, but do we have an understandable definition for it? If we are to send a clear message, it should be easy to understand and consistent. If your school, district, or library does not have an official definition, consider using
or building upon ALA’s interpretation: <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:blue"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:blue"> <a href="http://www.ala.org/acrl/standards/informationliteracycompetency">
http://www.ala.org/acrl/standards/informationliteracycompetency</a><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:blue"> Information literacy is a set of abilities requiring individuals to recognize when information is needed and have the ability to locate, evaluate, and use effectively the needed<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:blue">information.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:blue"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:blue">That sounds deceptively simple. We know the depth and breadth of topics and competencies this entails, but does your audience – students, teachers, administrators, parents – know? When you teach
students to evaluate websites, do they understand that it’s in the broader context of information literacy? When you collaborate with teachers on lessons that meet their objectives and yours, do the teachers understand that the lesson (likely) fits under the
end goal of developing information literate students? When you lead an information night about media literacy, do parents understand… you get it.
