Publisher's Description
The six threshold concepts outlined in the Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education
are not simply a revision of ACRL's previous Information Literacy
Competency Standards for Higher Education. They are instead an
altogether new way of looking at information literacy. In this important
new book, bestselling author and expert instructional librarian
Burkhardt decodes the Framework, putting its conceptual approach into
straightforward language while offering more than 50 classroom-ready
Framework-based exercises. Guiding instructors towards helping students
cross each threshold, this book
- discusses the history of the development of the Framework document and briefly deconstructs the six threshold concepts;
- thoroughly addresses each threshold concept, scaffolding from the beginner level to the intermediate level;
- includes exercises that can be used in the one-shot timeframe as well as others designed for longer class sessions and semester-long courses;
- offers best practices in creating learning outcomes, assessments, rubrics, and teaching tricks and tips; and
- looks at how learning, memory, and transfer of learning applies to the teaching of information literacy.
