UW iSchool Dean Emeritus Mike Eisenberg released the first in a series of vodcasts (video podcasts) this week on the subject of information literacy. Episode 1, "What is Information Literacy?," features Dr. Eisenberg answering a series of questions about the basics of information literacy collected from students and colleagues around the country.

In Episode 1, Eisenberg discusses Project Information Literacy, a research study he leads with Dr. Alison Head of the UW iSchool, and the Big Six, an information and technology literacy model and curriculum developed by Eisenberg and Robert E. Berkowitz which has become the most widely-known and widely-used approach to teaching information and technology skills in the world.

You can find the first installment of the vodcast on the ABC-CLIO blog.
