ISBN-13: 978-1856046145
Description: Education and training have been transformed in the 21st century as a result of changing patterns of work and culture, and learners increasingly expect technology-rich and flexible learning opportunities. Nowadays, learning takes place in a wide range of physical spaces, for example in educational or training organizations, in the workplace or at home, as well as in both public and private virtual spaces. Information professionals currently face the challenge of providing end-user education and staff training to very large and diverse groups, whilst integrating the use of ICT into their teaching.
But there seems to be a tendency within the LIS literature to focus solely on the methodologies of face-to-face learning or of e-learning, and this is a lost opportunity.This book offers a holistic blended learning approach, combining the best of traditional and new approaches to learning and teaching to make best use of the advantages of each while minimizing the disadvantages. It provides information professionals with a practical guide to the design and delivery of such training programmes, illustrated with a broad range of library-based examples, checklists and case studies.
This book covers key areas which include: tools and technologies in the classroom - virtual communication tools, social-networking software, e-learning systems, m-learning, and models of teaching and learning; planning and designing blended learning programmes; using individual and group learning activities; working as an e-tutor; developing online communities of interest and practice; and, managing blended learning projects - working in collaborative and multi-professional teams.
This unique book will be of great value to any information professionals, whatever their previous level of experience, involved in establishing and delivering training and learning programmes and end-user education. It will also benefit staff developers in schools, colleges and higher education; library and information students; independent consultants and trainers; and, information suppliers such as database providers.

Title: The Revolution Will Not be Downloaded (Paperback)

Publisher: Chandos Publishing (Oxford) Ltd (31 January 2008)
ISBN-10: 1843344599
ISBN-13: 978-1843344599
Description: This book attacks the often implicit and damaging assumption that ‘everyone’ is online and that ‘everyone’ is using online resources within the specified parameters of employers, government and national laws. Put another way, this book summons a critical Web Studies, asking not only who is using particular applications, but also how and why. This remedial work is required.
The concept and label of ‘Web 2.0’ is part of a wide-ranging suite of assumptions that offer simple answers to difficult questions. The term captures a desire for online collaboration and the sharing of information, performed most visibly through blogs, podcasts and wikis. Other ‘products’ that capture the Web 2.0 ideology include Google Maps, Facebook, MySpace and Flickr.
Within this framework, websites no long hold information but become a platform to connect applications with users. The business applications have gained the most attention - particularly content syndication - but there are also ‘political’ initiatives overlaying this project including open communication, the sharing of data and the deeplinking of web architecture.

Title: Going Beyond Google: the Invisible Web in Learning and Teaching (Paperback)
Author: Jane Devine and Francine Egger-Sider
Publisher: Facet Publishing (6 Mar 2009)
ISBN-10: 1856046583
ISBN-13: 978-1856046589
Description: Google isn't up to the task when it comes to serious research, and though your users and students have heard of the 'invisible', or 'deep' web, they probably have no idea how to tap into it. You need practical tools and strategies for teaching them about the web sources and specialized databases they will never find using everyday search engines.
This book will show you in simple, non-technical terms how to integrate the invisible web into teaching opportunities wherever they occur - in a one-on-one 'teaching moment' at the reference desk, or in a formal course. Estimated at 500 times the size of the visible web, the invisible web and the search skills needed to plumb its depths should be a part of every information literacy and research skills course. With this book you get expert teaching tips and scripts for informal instruction, plus model activities and assignments for the classroom.
Statistics and summaries of relevant research will help you combat myths like 'Searching is easy', or 'Everything important is free'. Read this book too, to find out how the best deep web search tools, including CompletePlanet, Closer Look, and the Librarians' Internet Index, are evolving and what it all means for your library's future electronic collection development plans.
Title: Is There a 'Google' Generation? (Paperback)
Author: Professor Barrie Gunter, University of Leicester, Dr Ian Rowlands and Professor David Nicholas, University College London
Publisher: Chandos Publishing (Oxford) Ltd (April 2009)
ISBN-10: 1843345579
ISBN-13: 978-1843345572
Description: This book examines original and secondary research evidence from international sources to determine whether there is a younger generation of learners who are adopting different styles of information search behaviour from older generations as a function of their patterns of use of online technologies. The book addresses the questions: Might the widespread availability and use of search engines, such as Google, give rise to a different type of scholar who seeks out and utilises online information sources and thereby develops a different orientation to learning from older generations whose information seeking practices became established initially in the offline world?
Key Features: This book provides a one of the most comprehensive analyses yet on the evolving nature of information search behaviour, and also combines a review of a wide range of international research evidence combined with original, cutting edge research. It is directed towards industry end-users and policy makers as well as academics with shared scholarly interests. The book presents a distinctive generation-based analysis of information search behaviours, and identifies the complexity of digital divides and shows that age-related differences in use of new information and communications technologies are more sophisticated than previously realized.
