@Michael Eisenberg on Information Literacy (PDF [|)]

Use the Discussion tab of this week's wiki page (Week 6) to discuss. How do these readings compare? Do they cover the same ground or highlight different issues? Would either or both be a helpful resource for educators discussing information literacy with students? We will use these thoughts as a springboard to discussion. <span style="background-color: transparent; display: block; font-family: Times; font-size: medium; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
