Practice Activity (instruction)


Check out one or both of the online tutorials. Create a bookmark for the one you find most helpful and may want to return to easily. Make sure that the bookmark (or "favorite") you add is from the Welcome page - which is the page that you are directed to when clicking on the links above. This is so that you will have a reference for the login and id required for the tutorial and can easily log in from there. Trying to bookmark a WebCT site (once you are in it) will not work.


If you don't know (or don't remember) how to bookmark, review the section on Bookmarking in Technical Literacy.

Assess your own level of information literacy. View the ALA's Information Literacy Competency Standards. See pages 10 to 14.

As you read through these 5 standards and related competencies and behavioral indicators - think about your own abilities and behaviors in each area and identify one or two goals for yourself related to information literacy.


Add these goals to your learning portfolio (as you may have developed in the Learning Success section of the Learning Online module). If you didn't choose to develop a portfolio, create a document called "My Goals 2007" and make a note of them there to refer to later.
