Helping citizens develop their own information literacy curriculum for lifelong learning

On the same theme of yesterday's post on information literacy and citizens is a presentation by Sheila Webber and Bill Johnston, given at the CILIP Umbrella copnference on 2 July 2013 in Manchester, UK. I wasn't able to attend Umbrella so didn't see their presentation but thanks to Sheila for making it available on Slideshare it is available for people to see at http://www.slideshare.net/sheilawebber/umbrella-2013

Helping citizens develop their own information literacy curriculum for lifelong learning

Presentation abstract: "Sheila and Bill will outline a framework to enable citizens to self-audit their changing information literacy needs through life, so they can identify strategies for meeting those needs. In particular they will highlight lifestage transitions. They will indicate implications for people who support these citizens, including possibilities in using tools such as MOOCs."

Having looked through the slides I can relate to all these apsects as I too use information literacy in all aspects of my life with its varying complexities and emotions of the different aspects of me (daughter, sister, friend, pupil/student, colleague, employee, manager, writer, workshop tutor / facilitator, committee member, power of atourney etc..) in different environments / landscapes with different needs and ability to use available resources.

A thought provoking presentation for us as individiuals and as library and information professionals.
