Check out a series of recent posts on the Information Literacy Weblog about the LILAC 2008 conference held in Liverpool, England, Mar. 17-19. The whole series (four as of today) is worth perusing for insights into the world of academic information literacy in Great Britain.
One section referred to a series of podcasts produced by the radio station at the University of Cardiff in Wales called “Student Survival Guide To Writing A Good Essay.” The six shows are well-produced and professional in quality. They include interviews with university students about their experiences with writing reports (locating sources, procrastination, etc.) as well as comments from librarians, professors, counselors and other students about ways to overcome the obstacles to producing a good paper.
Worth a glance and even worth sharing with your students (even though the accents may be a bit foreign to our cosmopolitan, digital natives!)
