High Order Literacy for the 21st Century - Improving the Quality of Library Engagement
It is not just universities that are changing rapidly in the 21st Century, but the very nature and fundamental techniques that research itself. In these circumstances there is a state of almost continual deficit in the skills and literacies needed to work with new data, new tools, and skills which can match unimaginable volumes of raw material with which to work. To the extent that universities libraries have seen information literacy as central to their mission, there is an urgent need to define what those literacies encompass, in order to make the necessary innovations in our approach to improve the quality of the libraries’ engagement with the Academy in this internationally recognised challenge.
when: Thursday 21 May, 2009, 5.30pm for a 6.00pm start
where: OJW room, level 12, S block, QUT, Gardens Point Campus
who: everyone! alumni…students…techies…professionals…
how much: $15 for light refreshments
rsvp: alumni@qut.edu.au by Monday 18 May, ’09. Please use fax back form attached.
