Summary
Summary
From high schools and colleges to technical and graduate schools, research involves making sense of information: learning the basics of planning, winnowing, and evaluating the quality of sources. As information proliferates, it's tempting to use the handiest tool rather than working to identify the best one. But there's a better way! Updated for today's ever-expanding world of electronic information, Teaching Information Literacy: 50 Standards-Based Exercises for College Students, Second Edition is the best single resource for fundamental information literacy instruction. Covering the basics of planning, collecting, and evaluating, the 50 standards-based exercises in this book * Address one or more of the ACRL Information Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education * Promote conceptual and applied skills via active learning, problem-based learning, and resource-based learning * Are ready for use by reference and instruction librarians at colleges and community colleges, as well as others responsible for teaching students how to conduct researchPerfect for a full semester course or a single focused seminar or workshop, these 50 lessons show how to engage with electronic and print information resources alike.

Booklist Review
This second edition covers 50 exercises (up from 35) and includes two new chapters What Is Information? (chapter 2) and Assessment (chapter 11). For the most part, chapter progression mirrors the sequence of a typical information literacy course, starting with Getting Ready for Research and moving through Books and Catalogs, Periodicals and Databases, and The Web and Scholarly Research. For each exercise, the authors provide a goal, a description, and tips for conducting the exercise. They also cite applicable ACRL Information Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education, Standards, Performance Indicators, and Outcomes. Especially useful, chapter 10, The Paper Trail Project, details a 15-week information literacy assignment that includes a description, grading rubric (new to this edition), student time line, and a nine-page sample project (updated to Sex Trafficking ). Highly useful for both beginning and advanced college and university instruction librarians.--Fadel, Stephen Copyright 2010 Booklist
