Lbs 707.

Reflection on lecture of 8 August 2017:

Mrs. Mohamed introduced the class to Information Literacy LBS 707. She made very clear what to expect at the end of the course.

Mohamed briefly spoke about the ACRL Framework for Information Literacy. She informed us that we will be using this framework a lot. We will also compare the older framework to the new one.

I was informed that we will be required to do weekly assessments, weekly BLOGS as well as weekly group activities.

Lecturer told us that at the end of the course we should be able to:

• Define information literacy
• Understand the historical evolution of the academic teaching library.
• Be able to apply the ACRL standards in our own lives when doing research.
• Determine the extent of information needed.
• Access the needed information effectively and efficiently.
• Evaluate information and its sources critically.

Mrs Mohamed briefly explained the evolution of the academic teaching library.
