... alien intelligence landing ... on Sydney ...
Nice term, ‘data smog’ coined by David Shenk, found in the ACRL Information Literacy Toolkit http://www.ala.org/ala/mgrps/divs/acrl/issues/infolit/infolitoverview/introtoinfolit/introinfolit.cfm
Synthesizing and rejecting information for assignment creation is giving me acute ‘smog’ ‘anxiety’. Info lit skills are THE filter, THE solution, so says ACRL … in which case writing about info lit may be a rather ironic postmodernist concept … deconstructing constructivist learning … in terms of jargon discovered, it is a high value added activity. Can the holy grail of clarity be attained?
