#AGIREINFORMATI. Learning Information Literacy by social network

Abstract

The paper describes the experience of the library project #AGIREINFORMATI,   (https://twitter.com/i/events/917401122171772928) created in favor of the diffusion of Information Literacy, both in the specialist field of bio-medical sciences, but also suitable for general users. It is a multimedia training product, structured according to the informal logic of micro-learning and therefore suitable for distribution on all social networks. It responds to the requests of the European institutions in favor of lifelong learning and the dissemination of training tools apt for individual and collective cultural growth, especially in the digital field. The project is based on the idea that no one can live in the Third Millennium without mastering digital and telematic tools, without knowing how to expertly retrieve, evaluate and adequately use information and network resources. These objectives can also be achieved thanks to the information services of libraries, especially academic libraries, which are now able to reach the desired information in real time, wherever it is located and on whatever medium it is produced, while at the same time educating users to exercise critical thinking, to efficiently satisfy their own information needs and to effectively meet those of the user community.
