Our students will graduate with “information fluency” when they can
•Find
•Evaluate
•Organize &
•Use Data
![Page 5: Information Fluency Starting the Conversation Between the FIT Team and the E-Learning Team @ the University of New Brunswick and David G. Brown, Wake Forest](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070409/56649e745503460f94b74420/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
These goals are achieved by nurturing students with--
•Concepts--relevant, useful
•Resources--reliable information
•Skills-- finding, analyzing, presenting
Accessing and sorting skills are as important as knowledge!

With Ubiquity---The Culture Changes
• Mentality shifts-- like from public phone to personal phone.
• Teaching Assumptions shift-- like from books in the public library to everyone owns a copy of his/her own.
• Timelines shift-- like from “our class meets MWF” to “we
see each other all the time and MWF we meet together”• Students’ sense of access shifts-- like from “maybe I
can get that book in the library” to “I have that book in my library.”
• Relationships shift-- like from a family living in many different states to all family members living in the same town
