BRIEF
OUTLINE
OF
POINTS
DISCUSSED

Within
the
workshop
eight
presentations
were
given
by
seven
invited
speakers
from
four
countries

(Finland,
Hungary,
Poland,
and
United
Kingdom):
Hanna
BATOROWSKA,
Tibor
KOLTAY,
Monika

KRAKOWSKA,
Serap
KURBANOGLU,
Anu
OJARANTA,
Sheila
WEBBER,
and
Gracjana
WIĘCKOWSKA
as

well
as
two
organizers,
i.e.
Sabina
CISEK
and
Maria
PRÓCHNICKA.

1.4.1
Scope,
aims
and
goals
of
the
workshop

The
workshop
has
been
aimed
at:

- discussing
strategies,
models
and
methods
of
Information
Literacy
(IL)
development
in
the

school
learning
sector
across
the
UE

- sharing
experiences,
opinions,
advice
on
development
of
the
information
competencies

and
culture
among
students,
teachers
and
other
groups

7

- validating
the
EMPATIC
products
up
to
date,
in
particular
the
Deliverables
4.1
and
4.2,

related
to
IL
development
strategies
as
well
as
IL
standards
and
performance
indicators,

and
examples
of
good
IL
practice
(cases)

1.4.2
Information
Literacy
development
in
schools

The
workshop
Keynote
Speaker,
Professor
HANNA
BATOROWSKA
from
the
Pedagogical
University
in

Krakow,
Poland,
discussed
„Information
Literacy
development
in
schools”.

She
started
her
speech
with
tracking
the
development
of
Polish
concept
of
Information
Literacy
(IL)

and
noticed
that
many
different
terms
are
used
in
the
area
of
information
and
digital
literacies,
and

there
are
also
a
lot
of
different
ways
of
perceiving
those
problems.

After
theoretical
reflections
Batorowska
described
how
Information
Literacy
had
been
developed
in

one
school
in
Sucha
Beskidzka
(a
town
in
the
Southern
Poland),
using
this
as
an
inspiring
case
study.

She
depicted
the
initiative
focused
on
“training
the
trainers”,
that
is
training
school
teachers
to

become
IL
educators
for
their
students,
in
order
to
create
the
generation
of
teachers
who
could

really
understand
the
IL
problems.
In
addition,
Batorowska
strongly
emphasized
the
importance
of

cooperation
with
local
authorities
and
local
institutions
(such
as
local
museums).
She
also
stressed

that
all
of
the
initiatives
she
talked
about
took
10
years
to
fulfil,
so
it
was
the
long-‐term
project,

STRATEGIC
in
its
very
nature.

1.4.3
Planning
and
developing
an
Information
Literacy
programme
in
schools

Professor
SERAP
KURBANOGLU
(Hacettepe
University,
Turkey)
spoke
about
planning
and
developing

an
Information
Literacy
programme
in
schools.
She
drew
attention
to
problems
associated
with
the

process
of
IL
development
planning
and
implementing
the
IL
strategies.
She
carefully
analysed

potential
challenges
and
planning
pitfalls
as
well
as
opportunities
and
strengths
of
different

approaches.
She
also
stressed
a
crucial
role
of
“human
factor”
in
every
strategy.
At
the
end
of
her

presentation
she
discussed
some
interesting
examples
of
good
Information
Literacy
practices.

1.4.4
Secondary
school
curriculum
from
the
perspective
of
Information
Literacy
issues

ANU
OJARANTA
(Åbo
Akademi,
Finland)
presented
a
view
of
the
Finnish
secondary
school
curriculum

from
the
perspective
of
Information
Literacy
issues.
Anu
Ojaranta
is
a
school
librarian
and
a
PhD

student
at
Abo
Akademi
(Turku,
Finland).
Her
research
focuses
on
IL
issues
as
present
in
school

curricula
and
teaching.
She
investigates
teachers’,
students’,
librarians’,
and
headmasters’
perception

of
IL
problems.
During
workshop
she
presented
some
of
her
research
results.

1.4.5
Selected
examples
of
IL
good
practices
in

(Szent
István

University,
Hungary).
They
presented
selected
examples
of
IL
good
practices
in
the
education

systems
in
Europe
(as
in
EMPATIC’s
Document

and
existing
Information
Literacy
standards
for

schools
of
different
levels
and
types
(as
in

libraries,
including
progression
of
Information
Literacy,

models
of

and
national
frameworks
for

Sheila
Webber
drew
attention
to
the
problem
of

librarians’
status
and
issues
connected
with
approaches
to
teaching
IL.

the
Head
of
Department
of

programs.
He
spoke
about
old
and
new
questions

connected
with
Information
Literacy
in
schools
and
asked
whether
the
present
educational
systems

really
prepare
schoolchildren
to
use
information
consciously
and
“critically”.
Tibor
Koltay
overthrew

the
myth
of
the
high
degree
of
IL
skills
among
“digital
natives”.
At
the
end
of
his
presentation
Koltay

showed
the
example
of
IL
good
practice
in
Hungary
called
“The
Digital
Fortress
Game”.

a
wide
range
of
advantages
arising
from
the
eTwinning
projects.
At
the
end

of
her
presentation
Gracjana
Więckowska
discussed
examples
of
good
practices,
based
on
eTwinning

projects
realized
in
Polish
schools
and
kindergartens.

1.4.7
Various
aspects
of
Information
Literacy
development
in
the
international
environment

of
Virtual
Mobility

MONIKA
KRAKOWSKA
(Jagiellonian
University
in
Krakow)
presented
the
idea
of
Virtual
Mobility.
Dr

Monika
Krakowska
is
a
faculty
member
in
the
Institute
of
Information
and
Library
Science
of
the

Jagiellonian
University,
and
conducts
research
in
the
fields
of
new
communication
tools
in
the

Internet
environment,
the
area
of
higher
education
in
Europe,
cooperation
between
libraries
and

other
institutions
within
the
European
Union,
and
Information
Literacy.
In
her
presentation
Monika

Krakowska
analysed
various
aspects
of
Information
Literacy
development
in
the
international

environment
of
Virtual
Mobility
and
presented
her
IL-‐related
experiences
resulting
from
participation

in
the
TeaCamp
project
(Teachers
Virtual
Campus:
Research,
Practice,
Apply).

1.5
MAJOR
ISSUES
IDENTIFIED

The
invited
speakers’
presentations
inspired
the
workshop
participants,
both
foreign
and
Polish,

“theorist”
and
“practitioners”,
to
formulate
their
own
opinions
and
share
personal
IL
experiences.

The
discussion
turned
out
to
be
very
dynamic,
even
hot,
and
productive.
It
concerned
the
IL

development
strategies
in
European
countries,
“taken-‐for-‐granted”
but
not
necessarily
valid
IL
policy

assumptions,
as
well
as
examples
of
good
IL
practices.
A
few
major
topics,
described
underneath,

have
been
identified.

9

1.5.1
Common
goals,
same
learning
outcomes,
different
national
strategies

The
first
and
essential
issue
identified
and
discussed
was
if
a
Europe-‐wide,
one
d e t a i l e d

Information
Literacy
strategy
is
really
needed.
The
workshop
participants
observed
that
the

educational
systems,
information
culture,
and
experiences
with
IL
development
in
every
EU
country

are
different,
so
what
works
in
one
part
of
Europe
may
not
in
the
other.
As
a
result
it
might
be
better

to
formulate
the
all-‐European
Information
Literacy
standards
in
terms
of
l e a r n i n g
o u t c o m e s ,

the
set
of
IL
goals
to
be
achieved
in
different
appropriate
ways
and
by
various
means
within
formal,

informal
and
non-‐formal
learning
environments.
Also
carefully
selected
and
purposively
analysed

examples
of
IL
development
good
practices
should
be
prepared
to
serve
as
illustrative
cases
and

inspiration
for
all.

In
other
words,
the
proper
direction
in
the
area
of
Information
Literacy
development
is
not
“central

planning”,
but
setting
common
European
goals,
to
be
accomplished
in
each
country
in
their
own

way.
The
workshop
participants
expressed
the
feeling
that
aims
should
be
the
same
across
Europe

(general),
but
the
IL
development
strategies
need
to
be
national
(particular).
As
the
examples
may

serve
the
Scottish
and
Welsh
Information
Literacy
strategies,
presented
during
the
workshop.

1.5.2
Issue
of
responsibility,
central
vs.
local

Another
important
question
has
been:
who
is
to
be
responsible
for
the
introduction
and

development
of
Information
Literacy
in
any
of
the
European
countries?
Should
it
be
the
central

national
body
or
central
goals?
The
answer
is
not
simple.
Generally,
participants
spoke
out
against

the
central
body
for
the
method
of
“small
steps”
and
cooperative
work
of
all
interested

parties/stakeholders
on
the
l o c a l
level,
in
local
communities
where
real
work
is
or
can
be
done.

1.5.3
"Digital
natives"
and
Information
Literacy

Tibor
Koltay's
presentation
was
met
with
great
response.
Participants
agreed
that
the
young

generation,
so-‐called
“digital
natives”
do
not
necessarily
have
the
“inherent”
culture
of
information;

they
also
must
undergo
education
and
training
in
the
field
of
Information
Literacy.

1.5.4
Value
of
cooperation,
the
key
role
of
school
teachers

A
very
important
theme
in
the
discussion
was
the
question
of
cooperation
between

librarians/information
professionals,
who
everywhere
are
traditionally
engaged
in
the
IL-‐related

matters,
with
other
parties/stakeholders
involved
in
the
educational
processes,
i.e.
headmasters,

teachers,
parents,
students,
local
authorities,
and
other
people
having
important
social
functions
in

their
local
communities
(police
officers,
fire-‐fighters,
priests,
etc.).

Especially
the
key
role
of
teachers
has
been
repeatedly
stressed
by
all
participants.
Teachers
must
be

aware
of
what
Information
Literacy
is,
why
it
is
so
important
and
how
to
learn/teach
IL
in
schools

(the
methodology).
In
other
words,
the
school
management
and
teachers
are
the
most
important

stakeholders.

1.6
MODIFICATIONS/ADDITIONS
SUGGESTED
TO
CASE
STUDIES

The
analysis
of
Polish
and
international
IL
“cases”
discussed
within
the
workshop,
allowed
verifying

the
examples
of
good
IL
practices,
which
were
selected
in
previous
stages
of
the
EMPATIC
project.

10

1.6.1
Cooperation
of
different
stakeholders

Discussed
examples
of
Information
Literacy
good
practices
show
that
the
development
of
IL

competencies
cannot
be
a
unilateral
effort
of
librarians.
Modern
education
of
IL
competencies

requires
extensive
cooperation
of
different
stakeholders:
schools,
libraries,
cultural
institutions,
local

authorities,
teachers,
parents
and
students.

1.6.2
IL
education
“mixed”
with
teaching/learning
other
competencies

The
analysed
examples
also
showed
a
trend
to
combine
“pure”
IL
education
with
teaching/learning

of
other
skills,
such
as
media
or
digital
literacy
competencies.
Also,
using
a
wide
range
of
innovative

methods
and
tools
to
make
IL
education
more
interesting
and
effective
has
been
characteristic
for
all

concerned
projects.

1.7
FINALIZED
BEST
PRACTICES/CASE
STUDIES
FOR
SCHOOL
SECTOR

During
the
previous
stages
of
the
EMPATIC
project
five
IL
development
best
practices
for
the
school

sector
have
been
chosen
and
described.
Within
the
workshop
these
projects
have
been
validated
in
a

sense
that
none
of
them
was
considered
to
be
inappropriate.
But
it
has
to
be
noticed
that
the

workshop
participants
were
much
more
interested
in
the
IL
development
strategies,
the
roles
of
IL

stakeholders
on
national
and
local
levels,
the
real-‐life,
ongoing
IL
enterprises
and
the
work
to
be

done
in
the
near
future.

Below
there
are
descriptions
of
the
validated
cases.

Background

12

The
Internet
and
multimedia
give
children
new

Background

The
“Information
literacy
skills
–
the
link
between
secondary
and
tertiary
education”
project
is

a
part
of
a
National
Information
Literacy
Framework.
Research
undertaken
by
Glasgow

Caledonian
University
showed
that
students
arriving
at
university
have
generally
either
poor
or

limited
information
literacy
skills,
for
some
these
skills
will
be
enhanced
but
many
will
leave
as

they
arrived.
According
to
the
developers
of
the
project
solution,
what
can
help
to
change
this

unfavourable
situation
is
cooperation
between
the
representatives
of
the
second
and
the
third

sectors
of
education.

Core
objectives

The
aim
of
the
project
was
to
evaluate
and
develop
information
literacy
skills
of
secondary

school
pupils.
The
main
objective
was
to
make
sure
that
secondary
school
graduates

completing
secondary
school
education
had
a
set
of
information
skills,
which
then
could
be

developed
and
used
in
the
course
of
higher
education.

Specific
objectives
were:

• identify
student
information
literacy
skills
they
bring
to
university

• convert
identified
IL
skills
an
IL
framework
extending
from
secondary
into
higher
education

• pilot
and
test
developed
framework

• identify
barriers
to
and
constraints
on
the
development
of
a
national
IL
framework

• test
the
link
between
IL,
progression,
and
retention
and
the
employability
agenda

The
project
was
funded
by
the
Libraries

sector
under
the
European
Union's
Telematics
Applications
Programme.

Background

The
Verity
project
is
connected
with
the
idea
of
providing
virtual
library
services
that
are

creative,
stimulating
and
educational
for
young
people.
Teaching
the
youth
how
to
search
and

use
information
is
compatible
with
concept
of
lifelong
learning
for
information
society.

Core
objectives

The
main
aim
of
project
was
to
help
young
people
with
their
information
seeking
process
by

providing
them
"The
Virtual
librarian"
system.
The
system
provided
virtual
library
services
and

tough
students
how
to
be
independent
learners
in
the
information
society.

Details

The
target
group
for
the
project
were
young
people
aged
13-‐19.
The
Verity
project
first

produced
an
English
prototype
of
"The
Virtual
librarian"
system
called
“Virtual
Resource

Finder”
which
had
two
parts:
the
resource
finder
and
the
infoskills.
The
resource
finder
guides

users
through
a
series
of
options
that
assist
them
in
locating
the
correct
bibliographic

information
both
in
the
OPAC
and
from
a
database
of
selected
web
resources.
Infoskills

includes
three
sections:
Learning
material,
Self-‐evaluation
questionnaire
and
Teacher’s
guide.

The
Learning
material
is
a
guide
for
information
seeking
designed
for
school
assignment
and

project
work.
It
teaches
the
user
how
to
work
effectively
with
information.
The
self-‐evaluation

questionnaire
provides
a
forty
five
questions
questionnaire
users
can
take
to
evaluate
their

strengths
and
weaknesses
in
searching.
The
Teacher’s

„real
life
trials”
for
the
school
sector
in
Poland.

2.1.1
Information
Literacy
initiative
in
Sucha
Beskidzka
(based
on
Hanna
Batorowska's

presentation)

General
information

The
workshop
for
school
librarians
was
organized
from
5th

Suska
Library.

The
topic
of
workshop
was
“Information
Culture
and
school
libraries
in
the
local
environment”.

School
librarians
were
the
workshop's
main
target
group
but
representatives
of
other
groups

were
also
invited.
Among
the
participants
were:

schools,
libraries
and
educational
institutions
in
Sucha
Beskidzka

Main
objectives

The
main
goal
of
the
workshop
was
to
provide
school
librarians
with
the
knowledge
and
skills

that
would
enable
them
to
take
effective
actions
in
the
field
of
IL
education
in
schools.

Details

The
workshop
participants
could
learn
about
such
issues
as:

-‐ theoretical
and
practical
aspects
of
creating
school
information
centres

-‐ new
technologies
impact
on
the
functioning
of
school
libraries

-‐ school
libraries
in
the
information
society

-‐ information
culture
in
the
perspective
of
changes
in
education

-‐ risks
of
lack
of
information
competences

for
sustainable
student
development

-‐ Multimedia
Information
Centres
in
the
local
environment

-‐ librarians
involvement
in
the
implementation
of
educational
projects

-‐ library
organizational
culture

users
information
culture

Essence
of
good
practice

19

The
essence
of
the
good
practice
undertaken
in
Sucha
Beskidzka
was
extensive
cooperation
of

several
institutions
working
together
in
the
local
environment.
The
success
of
the
project
was

achieved
thanks
to
close
cooperation
of
school,
museum,
libraries
and
university.
One
of
the

most
important
elements
was
the
inclusion
of
local
authorities
in
actions
taken,
which

provided
the
organizational
and
economic
support.
It
is
worth
noting
that
a
workshop

organized
in
Sucha
Beskidzka
was
one
of
the
elements
of
long-‐term
actions.

2.1.2
The
acquisition
of
Information
Literacy
through
the
eTwinning
projects
(based
on

Gracjana
Więckowska's
presentation)

General
information

eTwinning
is
a
European
co-‐operation
of
kindergartens,
elementary
schools,

other
school
staff;

-‐ European
Union
countries
schools
and
schools
from
Norway,
Iceland,
Turkey,
Croatia,

Macedonia
and
Switzerland;

-‐ kindergartens,
elementary
schools,
middle
schools
and
secondary
schools
(age

years).

Most
important
features
of
eTwinning
projects
are:

-‐ Using
a
computer,
Internet,
software,
digital
camera
or
other
tools

-‐ Developing
a
common
material
in
cooperation
with
European
partner
school;

-‐ Inserting
that
material
on
the
web
platform
TwinSpace
(common
space
for
all
the
project

partners).

Among
the
main
advantages
of
eTwinning
projects
are:

-‐ increasing
ability
to
use
modern
technology;

-‐ enhancing
motivation,
enthusiasm
for

objectives
of
the
eTwinning
project
is
to
develop
information
literacy
and

digital
literacy
competencies
among
students
and
teachers
by
giving
them
opportunities
for

creative
collaboration
with
foreign
partners.

2.1.3
Education
in
the
field
of
Information
Literacy
by
the
project
method
(based
on
Maria

Mendela's
post-‐workshop
article)

General
information

The
school
library
in
the
Economic
and
Chemistry
School
Complex
(Trzebinia,
Poland)
works

intensively
in
the
field
of
IL
education
by
using
the
project
method.
The
initiator
of
these

actions
is
the
school
librarian
Maria
Mendela.

Main
objective

The
main
objective
of
undertaken
actions
was
to
develop
students
IL
competencies
as
well
as

training
teachers
and
parents.
Another
important
aim
was
to
fight
against
negative
stereotype

of
school
librarians
and
make
teachers,
parents
and
students
aware
of
the
importance
of

school
libraries.

Examples
of
good
practices

1)
eTwinning
project
“Learn
the
world
of
professions”

Project
aims
were
to
gain
or
improve:

-‐ ability
to
use
various
sources
of
information
available
on
the
Internet

-‐ knowledge
of
methods
of
information
retrieval

-‐ ability
to
search
and
organize
information

-‐ ability
to
plan
career
paths

-‐ English
language
skills

-‐ understanding
the
cultures
of
European
countries

Students
worked
together
on
the
eTwinning
portal
using
the
TwinSpace
tools
and
Web
Quests.

Through
conversation
and
negotiation
group
members
had
to
choose
one
profession
to

describe.
Students
had
to
make
the
division
of
roles
and
perform
the
task
according
to
work

schedule.
Each
student,
to
complete
the
task,
had
to
learn
the
methods
of
information

retrieval
on
the
Internet.
The
whole
project
was
very
successful
and
gained
a
lot
of
awards
and

distinctions,
such
as:

-‐ National
Quality
Medal
awarded
by
the
National
eTwinning
Support
Service
in
Poland

-‐ Turkey
National
Medal
awarded
by
the
National

eTwinning
Support
Service
in
Turkey

-‐ European
Quality
Medal
awarded
by
the
Central
eTwinning
Support
Service
in
Brussels

-‐
Second
place
in
the
competition
“eTwinning
in
school
library”

-‐ First
place
in
the
national
contest
"eTwinning
in
Turkey"

-‐ Place
in
final
of
international
competition
„Global
Junior
Challenge”

2)”Civil
society
in
the
lens
of
camera”
project

21

The
main
objective
of
the
project
was
to
increase
the
level
of
social
activity
of
students
and

teachers
in
schools
and
raising
awareness
of
the
civil
society,
through
using
innovative
and

attractive
methods
and
tools.
The
specific
objectives
were:

-‐ improving
the
knowledge
on
human
rights
as
the
basis
for
building
the
school's
self-‐
government
as
well
as
civil
society

-‐ improving
knowledge
on
social
determinants
affecting
the
equality
of
men
and
women

-‐ improving
the
knowledge
about
how
to
use
the
media
to
work
for
society

-‐ teaching
young
people
the
principles
of
group
work
and
discussion.

During
the
project,
students
took
part
in
multi-‐day
workshops,
held
on
the
Wolin
Island.
The

aim
of
the
workshop
was
to
stimulate
participants’
creativity
and
sensitivity.
Workshops
were

divided
into
several
thematic
blocks
in
accordance
with
established
objectives
of
the
project.

Then,
students’
task
was
to
design
and
implement
a
project
of
the
social
campaign
for
the
local

community
(each
campaign
consisted
of
a
short
reportage
and
promotional
action
-‐
posters,

reports,
and
press
releases).

As
a
result,
students
gain
practical
skills
how
to:

-‐ search
information

-‐ create
public
awareness
campaigns

-‐ approach
problems
creatively

-‐ create
films
and
documentaries

-‐ create
other
promotional
materials.

SECTION
3
CONCLUSIONS

I.
The
main
conclusions
of
the
workshop,
related
to
the
issue
of
IL
development
in
the
school
sector,

combined
with
the
EMPATIC
observations
to
the
moment
are:

-‐
Do
not
believe
in
the
myth
of
“digital
natives”
and
do
not
base
on
it,
children
and
young
people
in

schools
might
be
ICT
literate
and
may
consider
themselves
also
information
literate
but
in
most
cases

they
are
not.

-‐
Identification
of
roles
and
multi-‐dimensional
cooperation
of
different
IL
stakeholders
(local

authorities
and
other
local
figures,
parents,
school
authorities,
students,
teachers)
is
crucial.

-‐
If
you
want
to
make
change
you
must
convince
and
train
school
teachers,
they
are
the
basis
of
the

educational
systems
and
send
the
most
influential
message
to
their
students/children
in
schools.

-‐
National
IL
development
strategies
should
be
flexible
and
built
on
the
all-‐European
scheme
of
IL

standards,
and
those
in
turn
should
be
formulated
in
terms
of
learning
outcomes.
Consequently
it
is

strongly
advised
to
prepare
such
a
scheme.

-‐
Real
work
on
the
local
level
is
the
most
important
factor
of
IL
development
in
the
school
sector
in

Europe,
and
as
a
result
it
has
to
be
strongly
supported
by
national
and
European
law
and
policy

makers.

II.
Also,
“illustrative
case
studies”,
the
Information
Literacy
best
practices,
i.e.
selected
examples
of

the
IL
development
projects
in
the
four
learning
sectors
in
different
European
countries,
should
be

made
available
for
future
reference.

But,
if
these
are
to
offer
r e a l
a d v i c e ,
then
c o m p r e h e n s i v e
and
i n -‐ d e p t h
information

about
them
must
be
published
and
made
accessible
(not
just
a
project’s
title,
dates,
goals,
and
main

events).

As
we
have
noted
before
(Deliverable
4.2),
in
case
of
completed
EU-‐funded
Information
Literacy

projects
there
is
frequently
a
lack
of
data
concerning
further
development
of
the
given
IL
initiatives

or
the
projects’
impact
on
educational
policy
and
other
actions
related
to
teaching
information
skills.

Furthermore,
one
gets
the
impression
that
most
of
the
IL
projects
did
not
bring
lasting
results
due
to

the
lack
of
a
wider
reflection
and
overall
project
management
policy.

It
is
therefore
necessary
to
develop
strategic
solutions
that
will
ensure
the
viability
of
the
project

results
after
the
termination
of
funding.
Also,
as
it
has
been
mentioned
earlier,
all
organizations

participating
in
the
Information
Literacy
projects
should
do
much
more
to
provide
access
to

complete
and
good-‐quality
information
about
their
initiatives,
particularly
through
the
creation
of

functional
websites
and
maintaining
them
not
only
for
the
duration
of
the
projects
but
also

afterwards.
