When it becomes available in Wilson OmniFile Full Text, I will post the link for that version embedded with our campus authentication prefix.

The 3 Directions Model and This Blog

This blog will used as a supplement to my article:

Nichols, J. T. (Forthcoming 2009, November). The 3 Directions: Situated Information Literacy. College and Research Libraries Preprints. Retrieved May 19, 2009, from http://www.ala.org/ala/mgrps/divs/acrl/publications/crljournal/preprints/Nichol.pdf.

The article describes the Model and the research that it is based on, and reports on the application of the 3 Directions to information literacy education at SUNY Oswego. Posts in this blog will include more information about the research, and about the use of the Model in information literacy programs.
