RT @thelibrarynews: Eight Tech Trends for Librarians (and Teachers too!

"The traditional idea of what it means to be a librarian is long gone in the digital age. It's more than just classifying and locating resources. Today's librarian is required to be a digital media specialist, and the need for teachers to climb on board is becoming more and more apparent as InfoWhelm continues to evolve the student brain. This Harvard Education Letter by Dave Saltman talks about 8 of the valuable resources needed by librarians today, along with basically anyone who handles a lot of information."

In this month’s Wired, Clive Thompson cites a recent study that reveals the paucity of search skills among so-called digital natives at both high school and college levels. Importantly he gets to the vital role school librarians play in fostering information literacy, including the critical approach to content, dubbed “crap detection” by Howard Rheingold."
