These tags were for the book The Seven Faces of Information Literacy by Christine Bruce found on librarything.com. This book offers a different perspective on information literacy. Bruce does not view information literacy as a list of skills or attributes but as ways that students use information literacy. More information about Christine Bruce and The Seven Faces of Information Literacy can be found at http://sky.fit.qut.edu.au/~bruce/inflit/faces/faces1.htm.

Information Literacy RSS

When the competency of adding an RSS feed to the blog was assigned, I immediately thought of viewing the Big6.com website to see if it contained any feeds. Big6 is information literacy skills approach of choice in my district. After locating the Big6 latest news feed, I was unable to open it. There seemed to be trouble with the feed site.

I then thought of seeing if one of the library journals that my district library media center subscribes to had an RSS feed. On School Library Journal's website, I was able to find a substanstial list of feeds on a variety of topics and interests. The purpose of School Library Journal is to speak to the needs and issues of children's, young adult, and school librarians. It offers information on program ideas, author and illustrator interviews, articles on issues and trends ranging from early childhood to high school, and reviews of books, multimedia, and games. I felt was the right fit with my blog especially when the feed I chose was Information Literacy News. The URL for SLJ is http://www.schoollibraryjournal.com/. The URL for the RSS feed is http://feeds.feedburner.com/SchoolLibraryJournal-InfoLiteracyNews.
