By involving college academic administration, and making credit hours count earned during learning information literacy could help students to pay attention to learn that important knowledge.

You engage them in a debate on information literacy and link it to something topical like fake news. The debate is great for developing their critical thinking skills. I have had much success with this method as shown in this link:

Best regards,

1. Strengthen the network public opinion monitoring from the source to control spreading around unhealthy and harmful information to avoid poisoning others.

2. Open the information literacy education curriculum, and determine the annual education goals and assessment programs.

3. Encourage students to do independent innovation research.

4. Develop strong teacher and student linkages.

5. Create effective teaching-learning situation to improve information

literacy strategy

Rather than lecture style, have them pair up or work in small groups and have them explore the catalog, for example, together.

Have a discussion and question and answer session.

Dear Indrazati,

Have you tried gamification? Students are always looking for fun. If you try to implement some gamification techniques on the learning process of "informational" competences you might have great outcomes.

Look these examples:

Walsh, Andrew. "SEEK!: creating and crowdfunding a game-based open educational resource to improve information literacy." Insights 27.1 (2014).

Markey, K., & Leeder, C. (2011). Students’ behaviour playing an online information literacy game. Journal of Information Literacy, 5(2), 46-65.

Thank you all for your sugestion Nazia Asad Debra Sharon Ferdinand-James Lakhwinder Kaur Linda Jolivet Angel Torres-Toukoumidis

Now, our library trying to give an information literacy through our social media, like Instagram and Youtube, oh and chat too! Because our students (yep, they are gen Y and Z) seems to prefer asking through online media than face to face (I know that because I'm millennial too!). So, we use animation video, e-learning media, chat application, to make them interest to information literacy.

But, we still giving an information literacy at class and library and we will try to use your suggestion to our students.

Big thanks from Indonesia :)

Librarians at the forefront of change in advancing information literacy in higher education

Academic libraries have advanced an educational agenda for over four decades to teach students general information skills, such as searching or evaluation. Building on this important work, libraries are now turning their attention to other important information literacy goals, such as enabling students to use information within different disciplinary or professional environments, or examining the role information plays in various social or political contexts...

Higher education’s role in teaching digital literacy

A report by THE Consultancy, “Digital literacy in the UK: employer perspectives and the role of higher education”, analyses the importance of digital literacy to the UK’s workforce as we enter the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

To reap the benefits in this time of massive transformation, businesses need a digitally literate workforce. Higher education can help address the growing skills shortage in this area, creating more employable graduates and a workforce that is better prepared for the jobs of the future. Drawing on case studies and employer perspectives, THE Consultancy underlines the importance of prioritising digital literacy in higher education...

Literacy was once the preserve of elementary schools, but now a ridiculous proliferation of subject “literacies” is harming education, argues Harvey Graff, a professor emeritus of English and history at The Ohio State University. It’s time to get back to basics, he says.

Universities must refocus on the basics of reading, writing and numeracy across subjects and fields...

Education provides a huge array of opportunities to engage students through game-based learning. Here at Monterrey Institute of Technology a group of us (academic librarians and education specialists) developed a digital learning experience aimed at helping students develop greater information literacy, which in turn would help with critical thinking, collaboration and understanding of cyberculture. This would be achieved by having students solve puzzle-like challenges related to techniques for identifying and evaluating reliable information, all in a virtual environment. We hoped that providing a memorable experience would engage students and result in their almost inadvertently discovering/appreciating the value of the library and its resources...
