Aberdeenshire Information Literacy and Learning Librarian wins CILIP President’s Information Literacy Challenge


Congratulations to winner Jacqueline Geekie Information Literacy and Learning Librarian at Aberdeenshire Council.

Jacqueline and colleague Jan Murdoch – a network librarian filmed a group of school pupils on a visit to Ellon Library to research a project on the Second World War and shows how the library service puts information literacy into action. See the film at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Njvq4e54Bw

The film also higlights other events such as Bookbug sessions, intergenerational work and secondary pupils teaching people ICT skills within the library setting and Jacquelins says that “it is part of everything we do daily to make learning engaging.”

As Phil Bradley says “Every day all across the UK librarians and information professionals are doing fantastic work to help people better understand the world around them.”
