The session in week 11 (4th November) has a session from three of the librarians at Sheffield University: Lyn Parker, Vicky Grant, and Maria Mawson. They will each talk about teaching information literacy. There is a section on Information Literacy on the Sheffield University website here: http://www.shef.ac.uk/library/infolit/index
Note that if this is a major interest for you, then the module Educational Informatics will be very relevant next semester.
There are a huge number of articles and resources about teaching information literacy, for those that are interested in this topic. A few examples are:
- This site, which has material from a project about a "New Curriculum" for Information Literacy: http://newcurriculum.wordpress.com/
- A "toolkit" developed by the London-based Clinical Librarians and Information Skills Trainers http://www.londonlinks.nhs.uk/groups/clinical-librarians-information-skills-trainers-group/trainers-toolkit
