Fostering Information Literacy Through Faculty Development

Thanks to Sheila Webber for blogging about this 4 page article - 

Fister, B. (2009) “Fostering Information Literacy Through Faculty Development.” Library issues, 29 (4). http://homepages.gac.edu/~fister/

It’s a really interesting article about developing academic’s information literacy through workshops and collaborative working with academic librarians. I liked the following

mastering new technology seemed to be the greatest challenge librarians faced. Yet a faculty member in a focus group said “It’s not about technology. It’s about pedagogy.” The most important thing the library could do, in his estimation, was to give faculty space and time to talk about how to help students learn in this new hybrid print/electronic information landscape.

Worth a read.
