CILIPS > Information Literacy: Securing Change > Resources

Resources within this section have been specially selected to complement the Toolkit by providing good quality supporting information across 3 main areas:

Advocacy

In order to secure change, it is essential to present a comprehensive and well-informed case. Try to keep up-to-date with research and familiarise yourself with the relevant declarations. This will help you to develop a robust argument for information literacy. A wide range of supporting information is available from library organisations some of which is specific to school libraries.

Support for Implementation

A simple web search would uncover a plethora of information literacy materials. We've selected good examples of resources covering general issues for implementation as well as more specific materials covering media literacy, internet safety and plagiarism. There are also specific resources for working with younger students and working with older students with examples of existing materials as well as guidance on producing new resources. There are also links to discussion groups and blogs so that you can share ideas with other professionals.

Professional Skills Development

Developing and delivering new services and programmes always carries implications for training and skills development. Find out about training opportunities and research the pedagogy to ensure that your skills and knowledge are kept up-to-date.
