Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path

First, I want to acknowledge what an uncertain time this is. As many of our jobs are shifting to virtual settings, I want to share tools that may be useful as you create online resources to provide information and work virtually with colleagues.

All of these resources have free options.

Librarians do an amazing job at school. They are entrusted with various educational tasks. These include, according to Queen University library, help students with information-related activities, assist students in developing information literacy skills that allows them to navigate and search the web effectively, collaborate with teachers in creating challenging project-based activities, run different literacy clubs, build library collections and many more.

Library hub discover, library hub compare, and library hub cataloguing will make it easier for UK higher education libraries and researchers to access, discover and manage academic collections.

Here is another of our popular visuals we shared in the past. It features a collection of educational web tools handpicked particularly for librarians. Our selection is based primarily on the reviews we have done in the past and also on the interaction and feedback we received from our readers. We arranged these tools into 10 main categories and for each category we came up with 3 tools that best represent it.

After posting about  iPad apps for librarians, we are featuring another equally important visual comprising some of the best web tools to help librarians in their everyday work. We have arranged these tools into 10 main categories: Database portals, research tools, curation tools, animated video tools, poster creation tools, note taking tools, timeline creation tools, tools communicate with parents, presentation tools and reference tools. 

Barbi Gardiner, founder of Library Tech Talk, has shared her 33 page list of more than 100 of the best digital tools for librarians.

We have seen a surge in scientifically minded search engines and browser extensions that aim to supercharge content discovery -- have they cracked the code in mainstream search and retrieval of scholarly literature?

As a librarian-in-the-making, I have had some experience with setting up different educational websites and training aids—I run the site for my small educational business, for example, but until my recent experience in my Information Literacy Instruction course, I wasn’t comfortable with the tools and speed librarians need to help patrons.

Librarians make a huge difference in our students lives. They are entrusted with a wide variety of educational tasks. Some of these tasks according to Queen University Library include: help students with information-related activities, assist students in developing information literacy skills that allows them to navigate and search the web effectively, collaborate with teachers in creating challenging project-based activities, run different literacy clubs, build library collections and many more.
