The arobase in the library — The libr@ry in society
No full textThis chapter is the last in the book, "Libr@ries: Changing information space and practice" (Kapitzke & Bruce, 2006). The authors ground their conceptual formulation of the emerging information commons in a biographical narrative from last century. Titled "Mato’s Fez", this historical cameo is used to show how place and space, technology and practice, are woven throughout the ideas presented by the authors in the book and in the lives of ordinary people, especially those who work in libr@ries. The chapter closes with a reflection on the increasing politicization of knowledge and encouragement for the library profession to continue their role as "truth-telling" parrhesiastes as described by Michel Foucault in his relatively little known text, "Fearless speech" (2001)
Introduction. Rewriting libr@ries: Space, knowledge and capital
No full textThis chapter is the introduction to the edited collection, ‘Libr@ries: Changing information space and practice’ (Kapitzke & Bruce, 2006). Libraries have traditionally been framed in terms of places, as mere repositories of organized collections. By contrast, within current digital contexts, the authors insert the symbol ‘a’ into the word ‘libr@ry’ to signify evolving discursive spaces and practices of libr@ries that are infused by, and in turn infuse, technological logics and economic values. That is, the arobase represents recursive processes through which digital technologies are assimilated into existing material and informational conditions through relations of space, knowledge, and capital under the combined pressures of commodification and globalization

Sustaining the Inquiry Cycle: Digital Literacy Reframed.
No full textDewey's ideas on experience and learning offer much by way of theoretical understanding of the learning process. However, educators often find it difficult to translate such insights into practice. This may be due, in part, to the tradition of formal approaches to instruction. The Inquiry Cycle, as a model of the learning process, provides a conceptual bridge between Dewey's theories and primary school teaching practice. A new contextual definition of Digital Literacy, framed in terms of sustaining the Inquiry Cycle, is proposed here. This framework was developed and validated in a study of the practices of eight Irish primary classes. The study also developed two new pedagogic tools – the Digital Literacy Component Checklist and the Inquiry Cycle Activity Summary – for practitioners, researchers and policy makers
