The Addlestone Report (TAR) keeps the College of Charleston community apprised of library initiatives in information literacy, research technology, workshops, news and events that support academics at the College of Charleston.
We particularly recognize that teaching and servicing the information literacy needs and issues of our patrons is a major responsibility of us as a university library.
The American Library Association’s (ALA) Presidential Committee on Information Literacy, Final Report states that, “To be information literate, a person must be able to recognize when information is needed and have the ability to locate, evaluate, and use effectively the needed information” (1989). The ACRL guidelines for information literacy curriculum include target areas for gaining such literacy. These areas are described as tool, resource, social-structural, research, and publishing literacy. Information literacy in this sense includes all formats analog and digital, traditional print, and electronic multimedia.
We welcome any and all feedback to help us better address these issues.
