Content of symposium
• Presentation
  – Propose the concept that reading lists can
    develop and enhance information literacy
    skills
• Discussion
  – Split into groups to discuss themes from the
    presentation
• Feedback from groups
• Conclusions
Reading lists and skills development
• Reading lists have a variety of purposes.
• The most well known and widely acknowledged
  is to provide subject knowledge.
• However they also can help with skills
  development such as:
  – Critical reading
  – Independent learning
• We contend that reading lists can play a critical
  role in developing information literacy skills.
CILIP information literacy definition and skills



  Information literacy is knowing when and why you
need information, where to find it and how to evaluate,
    use and communicate it in an ethical manner.

Reading lists and skills development • Reading lists have a variety of purposes. • The most well known and widely acknowledged is to provide subject knowledge. • However they also can help with skills development such as: – Critical reading – Independent learning • We contend that reading lists can play a critical role in developing information literacy skills.

  1. Welcome to this symposium about how can reading lists be effective information literacy tools?\n\nIntroduce myself and everyone\n\n
  2. \n
  3. This session is going to cover…………….presentation, discussion, feedback, and conclusions \n\nBefore we move on to more detail I am going to start by setting the scene a little\n\n
  4. Run through slide\n\nNext I’d like to clarify which definition of information literacy we have used to inform this thinking\n\n
  5. \nWe have used the CILIP definition\n\nThis definition breaks down even further into certain skills and competencies that are needed to be information literate. \n\n
  6. And now that we have these information literacy skills and the idea that reading lists can help develop these we can look further at where they connect.\n\n

  13. And now that we have these information literacy skills and the idea that reading lists can help develop these we can look further at where they connect.\n\n
  14. In our experience we have seen that all lists help develop – a need for info, the resources available, how to find info\n\nFurther to this there are some lists that help develop – the need to evaluate results, how to work with or exploit results\n\nAnd even a few lists also connect with – ethics and responsibility, how to communication and share, how to manage your findings\n\nThat connection is created though the design of the list\n\n

  19. This design can in either an implicit or explicit fashion. This is actually quite straightforward, we mean……………[CLICK]\n\n\n\n\n
  20. Implicit – go through the definition – this is the majority of lists\n\nExplicit – go through the two definitions\n\nOf course there are lots of different types and levels of lists that people can design………………… \n

  50. This is a list designed not by an academic but by a librarian. \n\nThe list attempts to address the question of how to do a literature search in the pharmacy discipline. \n\nIt uses Talis Aspire to deliver the content.\n\nThe list is for stage 3/third year Pharmacy students on a 4 year Masters programme. Many (upwards of 50% in some cohorts) of the students on this course programme already have an undergraduate degree in sciences such as chemistry or biochemistry. \n\nInformation literacy is a regarded as a core competency and a graduate attribute possessed by students entering regulated health professions. \n\nThe list is intended to provide a high level of support and advice to enable students to gather resources from a range of suitably academic sources to address any discipline specific question. \n\nThe list is geared to the module learning outcome:\n\nDemonstrate an ability to locate and critically appraise relevant published literature.\n\nIt is does therefore explicitly set out to support this outcome. \n\nThe list addresses students directly in an informal way. \n\nIt is structured, research centred and e-centric deliberately to meet the needs of pharmacy professionals. \n\nIt attempts to place literature searching within a disciplinary context by: \n\nExplaining what “literature” is \n\nraising issues about conventional and open access publishing; \n\nnoting how the UK HE internet infrastructure makes it possible for anyone in HE to do effective lit searches and the role of library collections and so on; \n\nincluding some known touchstones such as the BP, PJ Online and a few individual journal titles - all valid resources; \n\nexpanding the scope of the resource available to encompass more or less the whole of scientific scholarly literature but locally contextualised, emphasising Ebsco-Host databases and other locally supported bib databases, full text publisher resources and so on.\n\nThe inclusion of the “other resources” section helps to demonstrate that public health information in its broadest sense, much as it ought to be evidence based, can deliver confusing messages. My choice is somewhat selective and biased toward things I consider to be “relevant” while at the same time I do emphasise the importance of criticality. \n\nThe typical literature search, search techniques, keeping records and maintaining current awareness is conventional information literacy territory but also introduces newer methods of acquiring current knowledge such as through RSS feeds and twitter. \n\nThe last section is intended to provide a link between the application of the contents of the list to professional practice in Pharmacy. \n\nIt very briefly addresses a specific question about a therapeutic drug intervention in conjunction with an illness – in this case lithium therapy and depression. \n\nIt introduces video segments to explain the therapy and contrasts this with the patient experience, expressed in a video blog, finally signing off with an invitation to students to make contact for further support. \n \nHand over to Ian …\n\n\n
