INFORMATION MENTORS
• Information literacy is using information to learn
learning (learning how to learn)
• Information as core
• Literacy as capacity for practice in context
• Information + relevance = passion based
learning
INFORMATION MENTORS
• Critical users of Information
• democratic ideals of informed citizenry
• Information literacy is not neutral
• What does this mean?
INFORMATION LITERACY ≠ NEUTRAL
• Books and other library resources should be
provided for the interest, information, and
enlightenment of all people of the community the
library serves. Materials should not be excluded
because of the origin, background, or views of
those contributing to their creation.
INFORMATION MENTORS: WITHOUT THE ROOM
• Recognizing and Breaking Down Context Walls
• Mobile Access
• The myth and actuality of 24/7
