Information literacy
Winter
semester
2005/2006
Course
Topic
“The
needle in the haystack”: How to find, select and present the right information –
Information literacy project work
Aim
To build confidence in
students in handling and managing scientific
information and literature within a concrete work project.
Performing and managing quick and effective searches, the
pondered selection and a pleasant presentation of information – in order to
satisfy political, social and scientific demands – belong to the core
contents of a scientific education.
Today, in front of the information and publishing overflow of the Internet
age, information literacy is an inalienable requirement and a key
qualification for a successful work in politics, economy and journalism.
The training presents and teaches through practice work
techniques in finding and handling information. Within a project work, on
the basis of a current and socially relevant subject, pertinent
information are gathered, screened and arranged with the view of an electronic
publishing.
After a concise, basic introduction to the possibilities of
scientific information searching and literature provision, the participants in groups should develop some
specific features of the project topic. In the end the information
gathered and prepared by the groups is included in an information folder and
electronically published.
At most 20
