Information Literacy Weblog

I recently joined the Information Literacy Instruction list server. The farther I go into librarianship, the more I think information literacy is where the action is in the field. This is the most compelling answer to the question "Are librarians still relevant if it's all on the Web?" Even if it were all on the Web, librarians would be relevant as the driving instructors, trip planners, and tour guides of the information superhighway. Just because it's on the Web doesn't mean that it's indexed by Google, or that it can be found among Google's 5000 hits, or that it's authoritative, or that it doesn't display a bias.

An announcement on the list server led me to the Information Literacy Weblog. It's in the UK, so a number of the conferences and events described are over there.     #
