Journal club

Today we held the first meeting of a virtual Information Literacy/ Information Behaviour journal club on Infolit iSchool in Second Life, the virtual world, hosted by the Centre for Information Literacy Research at the University of Sheffield. Pancha Enzyme (SL name) of Edinburgh University proposed the idea, and led the first session, which discussed:
Kuhlthau, C. C., Heinstrom, J. & Todd, R. J. (2008) "The 'information search process' revisited: Is the model still useful?." Information Research [ejournal], 13(4), paper 335. http://InformationR.net/ir/13-4/paper355.html
Future events will be announced here and will also be on the calendar at http://infolitischool.pbworks.com/Calendar+of+events
There is a chatlog of the session here: http://dis.shef.ac.uk/sheila/chatlog-29-september-2010.pdf
I also made a short video (using Screenr and Animoto) with snippets from the session.

The music is "Konkete" by Alain Mikuni http://www.jamendo.com/en/album/47970
