A Champion of Information Literacy

摘要

Somebody once opined, on the Association of College & Research Libraries Information Literacy list, that "Federated searching is as dumb as a bag of hammers." It unleashed a storm of protest, all of it directed at me, the author of the unfortunate opinion. Speaking your mind on a major library discussion list can bring you a lot of trouble. But being an opinionated advocate of information literacy can also bring you terrific opportunities. Being asked to write for ONLINE on the subject of information literacy is one of those, and it's a distinct honor.
