Singapore: SURE website and videos

SURE means Source Understand Research Evaluate and I have blogged previously how the National Library Board, Singapore, have got a very active information literacy campaign badged SURE. The website is at http://www.nlb.gov.sg/sure/ with news, some resources (e.g. infographics and sheets for teachers) and articles.

SURE day (last November) featured Carl Schooner ("Acclaimed author of ‘Portraits of the Mind’ and neurologist at Columbia University"), Anthony Chen ("First Singaporean filmmaker to be awarded the prestigious Camera d’Or") and Steven Chia ("Well-loved Channel News Asia producer and presenter"). There are several videos from the day, including the panel discussion. Other videos in their video stream include one from April 2014 in which a team of schoolgirls talk about using SURE as part of their Formula 1 project and several videos in the SURE Lok Hom ("Sherlock Holmes" for Singapore) series. I have embedded SURE Lok Hom & the Case of the Cosplay Showdown below. The video channel is at
