through the use of pathfinders:
guides to resources for finding information on
specific topics.
People of all ages need to develop their own systems
for navigating and managing the
information-rich environment of today's world. Those who have the ability to
find, evaluate, and use information effectively achieve greater success. They
enjoy increased access to basic services, job opportunities, academic
achievement, and a richer quality of life. Like good reading skills, information
literacy is a natural fit--and a vital service--for libraries of all types.
On this website you can:
* Find existing pathfinders
* Create your own pathfinder on a topic of your
choice, using our web-based form and with
the assistance of resources in the
Tool Kit
* Submit the finished pathfinder to share with
other librarians
* Develop a class or
program for your patrons on a particular topic, using a pathfinder
