Slide9Information is easily accessible. What do we need librarians for?Executives look for seven survival skills
1
. Critical Thinking and Problem-solvingIn order for companies to compete in the new global economy, they need every worker to be a “knowledge
worker”. Over
and over again, executives told me that the heart
of critical thinking and problem-solving skills is the ability to
ask the
right questions
.”

Slide10“Technology has allowed for virtual teams….” 1 Christie Pedra, CEO
Siemens
Mike Summers “
Kids just out of
school
have an amazing lack of preparedness in general
leadership skills
and collaborative skills,” he explained, “They lack
the ability
to influence versus direct and command
.”

Slide113. Agility and Adaptability
“I
can guarantee the job I hire someone
to
do
will change
or may not exist in the future, so this is why
adaptability and
learning skills are more important than
technical skills.
1
Clay Parker,
BOC Edwards
4. Initiative and Entrepreneurialism
“I say to my
employees if
you try five things and get all five of them right, you may
be failing. If you try ten things, and get eight of them
right, you’re
a hero. If you set stretch goals, you’ll never be
blamed for
failing to reach a stretch goal, but you will be blamed
for not
trying
.”

Slide125. Effective Oral and Written Communication
“We are routinely surprised at the difficulty some
young people
have in communicating: verbal skills, written skills,
presentation skills
.
They
are unable to
communicate their
thoughts effectively
.”

Mike
Summers,
Vice President for Global
Talent Management

“There is so
much information
available that it is almost too much, and if
people aren’t
prepared to process the information effectively it
almost freezes
them in their steps
.”

Mike Summers
6. Accessing
and Analyzing Information
Slide137. Curiosity and Imagination
“
For businesses it’s
no longer
enough to create a product that’s reasonably
priced and
adequately functional. It must also be beautiful,
unique, and
meaningful.”
1
“Developing
young
people’s capacities
for imagination, creativity, and empathy will be
increasingly important
for maintaining our country’s
competitive advantage
in the future
.”

Daniel Pink
Author, A Whole New Mind
“I want people who
can think—they’re
not just bright—they’re also inquisitive. Are
they engaged
, are they interested in the world
?” 1 Clay Parker BOC Edwards
Slide14The Global Achievement Gap: Why Even Our Best Schools Don't Teach the New Survival Skills Our Children Need--and what We Can Do about it by Dr. Tony Wagner (2010)
College graduates – 54% average debt of $30,000 cannot find employment
Drop in unemployment – People have stopped looking
Students prefer the Internet to school. Internet allows for connecting, collaborating and creating.
Slide15Students who can figure it out are Creative Problem Solvers
Critical thinking and problem solving
Collaboration
Note taking
How to research
Ethics
Using information effectively
Curiosity and imagination
This is what students need to know for employment:
Slide16“After a year-long information literacy program, most 5th grade students continued to rely entirely on Google and never questioned the reliability of the websites they accessed.” 1 Vrije University Netherlands (2008)
Slide17High school students are not aware of when they locate a usable source of information, do not recognize it and continue searching.“Students’ high level of browsing…at the expense of thinking about information, need planning for strategies and evaluating obtained information.” 2
Shu-Ssien L. Chen (2003)
Slide18https://illumin.usc.edu
“Students’ level of faith in their search engine of choice is so high that they do not feel the need to verify for themselves who authored the pages they view or what their qualifications might be.”
3
Eszter Hargittai (2010)
Slide19How do middle school and high school students begin a search for information?
“I type a question.”
“If that doesn’t work I think real hard.”“I focus on the encyclopedia.”
4
“I go to google.”
Slide20How do these same students decide if an online article is a good source to use?
“If it has the information I need, then it’s good for me.”
“If it sounds good, I know it’s right, and it has good vocab.”“I don’t know. I just go with it.”
4
Slide21How much attention is given to reliability?
Two-thirds of students rarely or never check the author
Two-thirds of students rarely or never check the date of an article. 4
Slide22Students must learn through their teachers and librarians
Working together uses time efficiently and effectively
Model the behavior you expect your students to use“Students with access to librarians teaching Web research skills take prize of better grades in college.”
5
Slide23Searching skills
Cannot be taught in one day, one week, one month
Must be continually reinforced“Parents, teachers, librarians, friends, need to play a role in scaffolding a learning environment.”
