北米の大学図書館におけるweb2.0以後の変化: 情報リテラシーに与えた影響

摘要

Some information professionals in Japan argue that people already have lost interest in Web2.0, but I contend that the Web2.0 environment, developed by recent technology, will continue to evolve and that the number of Web2.0 users will increase. In this article, I focus on information literacy that needs to be discussed and implemented regarding the nature of Web2.0. First, I discuss relationships between the characteristics of Web2.0 and information literacy. Next, I introduce examples of Web2.0 in academic libraries in North America, and discuss the new aspects of information literacy. Finally, I introduce the concept of critical thinking to raise the importance of education regarding information literacy.%次に，北米の図書館でのWeb2.0の考えや技術を使用した事例を挙げ，情報リテラシーの面からどのようなrn点に注意すべきかを論じる。さらにcritical thinkingを紹介し，情報リテラシー教育の重要性を喚起する。
