Listen "A First Year Experience Toolbox: Information Literacy and Student Misconceptions"

Episode Synopsis

In this episode Bill speaks with Lisa Janicke Hinchliffe, Ray Pun and Laura Kohl about a study Lisa recently published in Communications in Information Literacy that examines first year student misconceptions about information literacy—how those misconceptions take root, what they are, and how librarians can help root them out. They take for an example the common misconception, “All library sources are credible” and examine how a student might arrive at that specific “successful error,” as Bill dubs it.
