...and the Kitchen Sink: Bringing Together IL, DIL, & SC Initiatives

Purdue colleagues, Lisa Zilinski, Dave Scherer, and I will be presenting a breakout session at the Indiana University Libraries' Information Literacy Colloquium this August. Since I will be away at my doctoral workshop, I will have to do my presentation in an electronic format. Anyways, this group (soon to be joined by a few others) has begun to think about how libraries can address the educational aspects of three Libraries' initiatives:  informed learning (IL), data information literacy DIL), & scholarly communication (SC) holistically. Our evolving ideas concerning this topic began when my colleagues attended a presentation at ACRL 2013 by the Committee on Research and the Scholarly Environment. This Committee reported on a white paper they wrote titled, “Intersections of Scholarly Communication and Information Literacy.”In this, our first presentation on this topic, we will be discussing bringing the three initiatives: IL, DIL, and SC, together to support undergraduate research.
