The
AG Informationskompetenz (Information
Literacy) coordinates
all activities concerning information literacy at academic libraries in
Northrhine-Westphalia through a network of mediators in each institution and
in cooperation with similar projects in Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg.
It was founded in 2002 by the
Consortium of
university libraries in
vbnw
- Association of the Libraries of
Land Nordrhein-Westfalen e.V. together with the
polytechnic libraries.
The
main objectives of the initiative are the increase of effectiveness
and quality
|
· |
Concerning
human resources by sharing and exchanging information and experiences
(i.e. the position of the library within the university, library policy,
marketing etc.) and through continuing vocational training, professional
development and quality management;
|
|
· |
Concerning
general conditions by developing and supervising teaching methods
and practices and by setting and improving standards for equipment
and class rooms and general organisation (see: Standards
for teaching information literacy in higher education);
|
|
· |
By
providing a communication
and information platform as a forum for interested colleagues
and the general public. |
All
activities aim at improving the information skills of library users in
general, particularly of students and researchers.
Main target groups: library users
(esp. university students and researchers); library staff.
Results
of the common activities include the publication of library
standards for the teaching of information literacy, recommendations
for the integration of information literacy into academic teaching (curricula
analysis), introduction of quality management and evaluation.
All publications and conference papers are listed at: http://www.informationskompetenz.de/aufsaetze-vortraege.htm
Current project Cooperate
work on an Online Tutorial Information Literacy NRW is in progress and will
be ready by the start of the AY 2006-2007.
Further information
about the AG Information Literacy working group, its activities,
problems, and plans at the start of the initiative can be found in German
in
the Progress Report (5 July 2002).
