One of the pillars of the Purdue University Libraries’ learning model is to cultivate information literacy<\/a> among students to support Purdue University<\/a>\u2019s goal to deliver student-centered learning. Student-centered learning requires that learners know how to find, evaluate, interpret, and apply information to solve problems and construct new meanings.<\/p>\n

According to Purdue Libraries Associate Professor and Information Literacy Specialist Clarence Maybee, to support learners in today\u2019s information-rich environment, the Purdue Libraries faculty and staff members are committed to enhancing student information literacy by advancing educational practice and research.<\/p>\n

To highlight the importance of information literacy, on Monday, Oct. 16, Purdue Libraries is launching \u201cInform Purdue,\u201d an information literacy social media campaign. In a series of videos and images, the campaign will feature Purdue University faculty and students talking about how they have applied information literacy in their courses and research.<\/p>\n

\u201cPurdue Libraries\u2019 approach to information literacy is to teach students to use information in the context of learning about something\u2014much as they will do on the job, or to make personal decisions after graduation,\u201d Maybee explained. \u201cIn the \u2018Inform Purdue\u2019 campaign, Purdue students, faculty, and staff share their own \u2018stories\u2019 of teaching and learning about information literacy, and how it helps them to accomplish their educational and professional goals.\u201d<\/p>\n

Content in the \u201cInform Purdue\u201d campaign will be posted on Purdue Libraries Facebook page and Instagram and Twitter feeds (see www.facebook.com\/PurdueLibraries\/<\/a>; twitter.com\/PurdueLibraries<\/a>; and www.instagram.com\/purdueulibraries\/<\/a>). Purdue students, faculty, and staff will be encouraged to share how they apply information literacy in comments and in retweets (with the hashtag #InformPurdue<\/strong>).<\/p>\n
