OSU's Library has developed information literacy competencies, which are outlined on this page.

Our Information Literacy focus is on the conversation model.
We want students to find out what others have to say on a topic before generating their own stance and link their arguments to the ongoing conversations and build from them.

Writing 121 uses this book to teach the conversation model of researching, writing, and argumentation.

A page like this is helpful to teach students about intellectual property and fair use — how they can ethically use the work of other people.
5
Writing 121 students at OSU expand their information literacy skills through the five assignments in an Information Literacy Portfolio through Blackboard.

An emphasis of our information literacy focus is socially constructed knowledge, an example of which is Wikipedia.
Wikipedia is a great resource for discussing credibility of sources and what counts as evidence in different discourses.

One important aspect of OSU’s information literacy is the collaboration between library and writing faculty. OSU’s writing program has hosted explicit IL training since 2001.

Here is where OSU libraries links their customized course pages. WR 222 and WR 327 pages are coming.

Business Librarian Laurie Bridges has created this del.icio.us page with many resources for OSU students. This page can be reached from the OSU Library's WR214 page, which she also created.

For some of our students, the concept of a search engine that searches scholarly work (and isn't in a library!) seems novel. Google Scholar is an example of such a tool.
16
A bibliography like this can help instructors expand their own knowledge re: information literacy.
17
Because not all OSU students take Writing 121 at OSU, we work with other colleges and universities across the state in order to share ideas, understandings, and practices in regards to information literacy.
The next IL Summit is November 16, 2007.

Robert Scholes's book Textual Power (1986) emphasizes “the ways in which teachers can help student to recognize the power texts have over them and assist the same students in obtaining a measure of control over textual processes, a share of textual power for themselves.”

Information literacy is integral to all English department courses, whether writing or literature.

The concept of 21st century literacies – going well beyond reading and writing – is spreading fast. Universities are pairing with corporations to help all students increase their textual power.
