Project Information Literacy

This research, out of the University of Washington's iSchool, has produced a video series, created for use in classes, training sessions, and meetings to spark further discussion about information literacy. The series also includes video shorts about what students say about Wikipedia (2:11) and what they say about procrastination (2:11). No permission for use is needed. One suggestion is to have these running as classes gather.
