Subject: [lirt-l] EBSS program at ALA Annual

Dear LIRT members,

The Education & Behavioral Sciences Section (EBSS) has put together a great program for ALA Annual, co-sponsored by the Instruction Section.

News Literacy and Preservation:  Finding, Using, and Losing the News
Saturday, June 26, 2010
1:30-3:30 pm
Renaissance Hotel, Congressional Hall A/B



In the age of blogging, wikis, and social networking, the ways we harvest news are changing and the proliferation

and transitory nature of news creates archiving challenges.  How do we help students integrate and evaluate nontraditional

news sources versus established journalistic practices?  How do we preserve and provide access to both traditional and nontraditional sources?

 Join EBSS in a panel discussion on the issues of news literacy and preservation.



Speakers:

Meg Smith, Researcher, The Washington Post

Hannah Sommers, Broadcast Librarian, National Public Radio

Bernard Reilly, President, Center for Research Libraries
Debora Cheney, Foster Communications Librarian and Head, News and Microforms Library, The Pennsylvania State University Libraries

Thanks,
Michele Ostrow, Co-Chair, 2010 IS Conference Program Planning Committee
