Online Information Skills Tuition

[Mike McConnell]

    < -- Apologies for cross-posting -- >

    I am currently involved in a project which seeks to integrate
    materials on the Internet with local open learning resources to
    provide an enhanced learning environment in the public library.

    Can anyone on the list can recommend open learning materials on
    the Internet suitable for supporting the teaching and learning
    of information skills (IS) by the independent learner in a
    public library environment? These should be generic and
    transferable information skills which will enable individuals to
    identify, acquire and analyse resources to support their
    learning.  

    I am particularly keen to learn of online tutorials, whether they
    cover generic or subject-specific IS. I am already familiar with
    the major information providers, projects and gateways such as
    Edulib, SOSIG, NISS, BIDS, etc, but am also interested in
    materials that teach individuals how to teach IS.

    Thanks in anticipation of your help,

    Mike
