Farewell ISCI 761!

 

Hi, Readers!

It is time to say goodbye to ISCI 761!

It is hard to believe another semester has come to an end on my journey in the MLIS program at the University of South Carolina. ISCI 761 has been one of my favorite classes I have taken in this program. I have learned so much, but I cannot wait to share what my biggest take away was during this semester.

 



There were so many takeaways from this semester that I could go on and on, but I am not going to do that to you. I will just tell you about my favorite one. My favorite takeaway from this semester is being able to take all that I learned this semester and build a school library website from scratch. I learned that it takes a lot of work to develop a website that is user-friendly, but I am so glad that I was able to build one while being able to have feedback from Professor Thore as well. This is an experience that I have definitely learned from and can take with me into a school library in the future.

It was great to share many different things with you all over the semester through my ISCI blog.

I hope you all take care, and I hope to you do well with your future endeavors.

Thank you again for stopping by one last time!

Sincerely,

Courtland Smith

Blog 2: The Importance of Information Literacy

  Hi, Readers! Have you ever thought about the information that you read every day? Do you believe that information to be true? And what skills might you need to make sure that this information is true?   (bartleby, n.d.) When thinking about the skills or necessities you might need to access information in the world today, information seekers need to be equipped in information literacy, technology literacy, and digital/media literacy (Partnership for 21st Century Learning, 2015, p. 2). First of all, information literacy is the skill of being able to “access, evaluate, use, and manage information” (Partnership for 21st Century Learning, 2015, p. 5). Then technology literacy is needed to as a “tool to research, organize, evaluate and communicate information” (Partnership for 21st Century Learning, 2015, p. 5).   Then information literacy is the skill of being able to “access, evaluate, use, and manage information” (Partnership for 21st Century Learning, 2015, p. 5)....
