CHICAGO – Participants will explore the differences between how information literacy is taught in K-12 and academic communities in a new webinar from the American Association of School Librarians (AASL). Presented by Emily Gover, “Big Data: What We Learned about Information Literacy from 10,000 Students and 1,200 Librarians” will take place at 6 p.m. Central on Thursday, Feb. 19. For more information and to register, visit .

During the webinar, Gover and participants will examine the results of an information literacy survey completed by 10,000 EasyBib users and 1,200 librarians in K-12 and academia. Using the results, Gover will highlight the differences in how librarians perceive student information literacy skills and how students evaluate their own information literacy skills.

She also works part-time as a public reference librarian in a suburban town north of New York City. She loves to connect via Twitter (@Emily_EasyBib), and hopes that you'll join her and the 5,000 other educators who participate in EasyBib's free professional development throughout 2015.
