IL 2.0 at the American University in Cairo

Abstract

Web 2.0 technology has impacted the information literacy (IL) program at The American University in Cairo. Librarians use Flickr to teach databases in a required IL course. The article presents a case study and gives recommendations for developing similar lesson plans and for incorporating 2.0 technologies into librarians' personal and professional lives. Using social software to teach IL concepts is appropriate for today's tech savvy, visual students and makes for a creative, student-centered teaching and learning environment. The authors call for a move toward IL 2.0.
