Teen Literacies in 2018
The Young Adult Library Services Association’s (YALSA) mission is to support library staff in alleviating the challenges teens face, and in putting all teens—especially those with the greatest needs—on the path to successful and fulfilling lives. In this toolkit, we use the “fake news” phenomenon as an approach to print and digital literacies. We re-examine and discuss culturally-inclusive print and digital literacy strategies we can use with teens to help them make sense of their world and build a robust set of skills as they prepare to enter college or start careers.

Project Information Literacy - Videos

Project Information Literacy (PIL) is a nonprofit research institute that conducts scholarly studies about students and how they find, evaluate, and select information for use in their courses and for solving information problems in everyday life.

We have collected data from over 16,000 "early adults" enrolled in more than 88 U.S. public and private colleges and universities, community colleges, and high schools. PIL has produced nine major research reports, detailing aspects of information use by students, and more recently graduates.

This is a link to the PIL collection of videos for quick access viewing of the content and results of their findings for faculty learning that can also be shared with students.
Smart Talks- Lectures on Literacy
Smart Talks is an occasional series produced by Project Information Literacy (PIL). PIL hosts interviews with leading experts about PIL's findings and their thoughts about the challenges of finding information and conducting research in the digital age. Smart Talks are open-access; no permission is required from PIL for re-use, since each publication has a Creative Commons license.
