Alice in InfoLand

This video explores the changes in the way we find, store, create, critique, and share information. This video was created as a conversation starter, and works especially well when brainstorming with people about the near future and the skills needed in order to harness, evaluate, and create information effectively.

• with prospective library students, to give a very brief history of the changes in librarian responsibilities,
• with classroom teachers, to show why students need to develop effective information-consumption skills,
• with school administrators and BoE members, to explain why librarians — as information mavens — are still/always needed,
• with… anyone who thinks that kids already know everything about how to ‘find stuff on the interweb.”
