- Jane to introduce talk 2 minsIntroduce each other and where we are coming from
- JaneIt shouldn’t matter, but it does. I think a clear definition is crucial. So we decided at LSE to call it digital and information literacy which seems to work well, but we provide a clear definition of what we mean by it as well (with examples).We’re all tired of the terminology debate, but we do need to recognise that information literacy overlaps with what other professionals call other literacies (or fluences or competencies).
- Jane - overview of what ANCIL is 3 mins max - to point people to the blog and hand out flyers for the book. I’ll quote the ANCIL definition of IL, and also talk about it being a curriculum, but also an approach to IL that is holistic, reflective, seeing IL as being part of the learning process. But also learner centred. And composed of more than just skills, but attitudes, knowledge and behaviour.
- Maria LSE has around 9000 students in total, 4500 are undergraduates. The rest are postgraduate and come from over 140 countries. Largest departments Economics and Accounting and Finance but strong qualitative departments: Anthropology, Political Science, Sociology, International Relations, Philosophy, Social Policy, Geography, International History etc. 16 Nobel Prize winners from LSE – the first being George Bernard Shaw who was one of the founders of the school34 past or present world leaders have studied ot taught at LSE.
- MariaMuch provision informal, standalone, not assessed - Services often not coordinated•However◦Belief that IL is important, needs to be embedded and student learning should be scaffoldedfocus on online information: find, evaluate and manage skills •Highlights examples of good practice and suggested skills embedded at some level - inconsistent •Time a factor in UG curriculum•Assumptions that students ‘should’ have IL skills when they arrive are problematic•Belief that embedding is difficult by librarians •Information use by students is largely driven by reading lists and resources in MoodleStudents dependent on lecturers for direction•More likely to seek support from Careers, IT Training, TLC rather than Library and only at point of need.

- Jane – time is a factorOnline compliments face to faceNeed to embed resources into Moodle to make it sustainable and scalable
- Jane
- Maria Explain widening participation is opening up access to higher education to people from who have not traditionally thought about attending. Lots of interest in helping students before they come to LSE - Saturday School programme, LSE Choice – joined up approach in CLT and Library to induction sessionPilot project with City and Islington Sixth form college in London and working to develop some IL resources for 16-18 ages.
