The project asks that every participant follows some general guidelines in order to create animated tutorials that are viewable, easily exhangeable, substantive in content and useful for users in any library. Contributors typically review the guidelines, create a tutorial, and then upload their tutorial to ANTS central repository at DSpace (https://dspace.ucalgary.ca/handle/1880/43471). When they do so they upload both the tutorial's Source Code and SWF file - which is then made available from this site. ANTS also enables people to access embedding code for its SWF tutorials via its Screencast.com site http://www.screencast.com/users/ANTS Alternatively, people can access Embedding code for FLV or AVI Files - as well as gain access to a rich array of Syndication, Sharing and Subscription options - via its new site: The Library Information literacy Online Network or LION TV. (see: http://liontv.blip.tv/ ) The project allows any librarian to edit our list of online resources identified for tutorial development as they can go to the wiki and indicate that a tutorial should be developed for an e-resource not on our list - or - for broader information literacy turorials. This enables partipants to create a list that is current and responsive to changing demands. From this list they can also learn if others are currently working on a tutorial, have completed a tutorial or updated a tutorial. They also can find links to the actual tutorial which is housed at our central repository. / The project also allows any librarian to add a tutorial to our central repository provided that they allow others to make modifications to it for customized purposes. To do so they first have to register for an account at DSpace. Once registered, they can also sign up for notifications so that they will be informed any time new content is added to DSpace. / Because of the Guidelines, all tutorials are designed to be generic enough to be used as created. All tutorials are created using Flash technology, and most include Audio.

In an effort to reach more students through Acadia University��?��?�s ubiquitous laptop environment, librarians embarked on an online tutorial project now known as Information Literacy Online (ILO). The project plan includes five tutorials designed to teach students core research and information literacy skills. Modules target first and second year students and are intended to be cross-disciplinary in nature. The purpose of this third module in the series is to teach students strategic approaches to searching the web more efficiently.
Info Research 101 is a self-paced, interactive tutorial designed to provide mainly undergraduate students in the arts, humanities and social sciences with the necessary foundations and skills to find useful information, to evaluate it critically and to use it wisely for various purposes such as writing research assignments. Helpful examples, practical tips and interactive activities complement the information presented.

Ce document, préparé à l�€™intention des professeurs et chargés de cours de l�€™Université de Montréal, est une introduction à la question des compétences informationnelles, à l'importance de celles-ci dans la réussite des étudiants et aux orientations adoptées par l�€™Université de Montréal en matière d�€™intégration de ces compétences dans les programmes d�€™études.
Les competences presentes ici brossent dans ses grandes lignes le processus � partir duquel les professeurs, les biblioth caires et les autres intervenants isolent les indicateurs spcifiques permettant de reconnatre qu�??un �tudiant poss�de les competences informationnelles.
Ce tutoriel développé à l�€™UQAM a maintenant aussi été adapté par l�€™Université Laval (InfoSphère Laval) et par l�€™Université de Montréal (InfoSphère UdeM)

CARL promotes the sharing of information literacy best practices amongst Canadian research libraries.
The conference traditionally traveled between central and western Canada but since 2001 has included the eastern provinces into the annual schedule. Now in its 35th year, the Workshop on Instruction in Library Use (WILU) conference has become the primary national forum for library instruction. The conference brings librarians together to share best practices and theories in all areas of information literacy.
