Beyond the F1 Key: Thinking and Teaching the Internet
within the Curriculum


Critical thinking has direct and profound connections with learning
outcome developments in college and university curriculums. By
using the rich and varied environment of the Internet to engender
critical thinking abilities, we connect our library programs to the
key movement in educational reform today. We will present two
conceptual frameworks and three case studies related to
Internet training and use in the academic library. Related poster
sessions, co-sponsored by the ACRL Science and Technology Section,
will precede the program.

"Critical Thinking: Using It and Teaching for It"
Dr. Gerald Nosich, Professor of Philosophy at the University of New
Orleans

"Educational Reasons for Teaching the Internet: A Faculty
Perspective"
Dr. Kevin Roddy, Lecturer in Medieval Studies and Academic
Coordinator of Information Technology at the University of
California, Davis
