For anyone who’s not read the CIBER report, Information behaviour of the researcher of the future, its authors have published an article in the latest issue of Aslib Proceedings, available online at Imperial:

Rowlands, I. et al (2008) The Google generation: the information behaviour of the researcher of the future. Aslib Proceedings. 60(4), 290-310. doi:10.1108/00012530810887953

JISC plagiarism report

Filed under: information literacy, plagiarism — Tags: , — Ruth @ 2:34 pm

The second report from the Academic Misconduct Benchmarking Research Project (AMBeR) investigating HEI plagiarism policies in the UK has been published. I haven’t read the full report yet, but I will be! You can have a look at the Executive Summary for a shorter version (it was highlighted in the HEA’s latest bulletin).

Journal of Online Learning and Teaching

Or JOLT – an open-access journal published in the US, but with an international editorial board. It’s peer-reviewed, and is published by MERLOT, an organisation that is building a collection online learning materials ‘catalogued by registered members and a set of faculty development support services‘. I haven’t heard of the journal or MERLOT before, but will be having a look to see what’s in its collections.

As today is the launch of the Learning 2.0 programme, it seems appropriate to post a link to an article by Iain Doherty published in HealthCare and Informatics Review Online:

Web 2.0: a movement within the health community (30 June 2008).
