Learning with the school library: multi-literacies and collaboration

Publication . Costa, Magda; Novo, Ana

This article presents a research process framed in an action-research model, in the context of collaborative work, for which training was designed. Its objective was to put into practice the learning framework associated with the work of school libraries in Basic Education. With it, we tried to build and implement work tools that support teachers and students in the development of information literacy, in the construction of metacognitive strategies and, consequently, in the construction of autonomy processes, under the responsibility of a teacher librarian.

Challenges to Information Literacy Online Learning in Higher Education

Publication . Novo, Ana; Ochôa de Carvalho Telo, Paula Alexandra

This paper aims to synthesize debates and perspectives around the influence and impact of the digital transition. It discusses the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and the idea that digital maturity implies the development of a strategy to deal with complexity and a hybrid thinking to create the digital future of cultural institutions. As such, the paper is both critical and reflective. Two aspects are highlighted: a) competences, strategies and practices of information literacy in the area of digital convergence of libraries, archives, and museums; and b) forms of innovation in library and information science (LIS) Education and in new collaborative lines of action. It presents epistemological and pedagogical formats developed by Universidade Aberta and Universidade Nova de Lisboa (Portugal) with the objective of updating skills in information and digital literacy for professional profiles of emerging markets.

Media and information literacy in portuguese school libraries: a longitudinal study with elementary school students

Publication . Bastos, Glória; Novo, Ana

The evaluation process of school libraries, developed by the Portuguese School Libraries Network, has been carried out through the application of a self-evaluation model. The instrument used by teacher librarians is based on a set of elements, including the collection of data through questionnaires applied to students of different schooling levels. In this study we examine the responses obtained through the questionnaires applied in that context, to students from the Portuguese districts of Évora, Leiria, Setúbal and Vila Real, in the years 2015, 2017 and 2019. The analysis is focused on activities related to MIL, verifying the incidences and contrasts in the dimensions studied in the observed universe. The self-evaluation Reports from 2019 are also analysed, mainly the strengths and weaknesses pointed out by teacher librarians. Considering students’ responses, the results show several gaps in the work carried out by libraries, especially in the 1st cycle of basic education, and in activities more related to an active attitude on the part of students in the use of digital resources.
