Information Literacy UNL 205x

Welcome to section #3562 of UNL 205x: Information Literacy. Over the course of six class meetings, we'll be exploring a number of topics connected with finding, evaluating, and using information in a variety of formats. This is not just a class on "how to use the library," but something much broader that encourages you to think about the information that surrounds you, day in and day out. Not just information you would use for academic purposes, for research papers and projects, but the information you use to make informed decisions in your daily life.

I will use this blog to let you know important information about the class. When materials are graded and ready to pick up, or if you want to find out what mistakes might be showing up in assignments so you can fix them, this is the place to look! I also will incorporate it into our class discussions as a place for all of us to discuss news items that concern information, particularly information ethics: privacy issues, plagiarism, access to information, etc. And there will be a variety of polls for you to respond to about how you find information. Take a look at the blog at least a couple of times a week.
