Update to Information Skills cards
The Information Skills cards have just been updated – this new version is version 4.0.
This current (beta) edit is designed to reflect the recent changes in the SCONUL Seven Pillars of Information Literacy, as documented online on the SCONUL website.
All the cards have been changed to reflect both the updated Information Literacy Pillars and the supporting information in the Core Model publication, which explains each of the Pillars.
The cards have also been updated with the International Information Literacy logo, as recommended by the SCONUL Working Group on Information Literacy.
The updated cards can be viewed and downloaded from our Viewpoints online Slideshare area.
The cards are not yet final – they have been sent out for consultation by University of Ulster Library staff. Once all comments and edits from them have been collated and incorporated, we will upload a final printable set of the updated Information Skills cards to the Viewpoints Resources website.

Sixth International Blended Learning Conference (BLU)
Viewpoints were involved in a joint workshop entitled ‘Sustaining and embedding innovations to achieve institutional enhancement in learning and teaching’ at the University of Hertfordshire on the 15th and 16th June 2011. Catherine O’Donnell represented the Viewpoints project at this event.
The workshop began with a short overview of the key success factors for sustaining and embedding projects. The teams then split into two sub-groups for the discussion element.
Each sub-group presented information about their project. This provided participants with an opportunity to learn more about the projects and their relevance to their own institutions.
Sub-groups then took part in discussions about the barriers and enablers aligned with the chapter headings in the Good Practice Guide to Sustaining and Embedding Innovations.
A copy of the presentation delivered at this joint workshop can be found on Slideshare.
