Information Privilege Outreach for Undergraduate Students
Hare, Sarah; Evanson, Cara
College & Research Libraries, v79 n6 p726-736 Sep 2018
Through their affiliation with an institution of higher education, undergraduate students are able to access a range of research materials and, as a result, enter the scholarly conversation and build upon existing research. This ability to access information that others cannot is called information privilege. This article builds upon Char Booth's work on information privilege to present library outreach as a way to raise awareness about the disparity in information access and to encourage students to consider how their own scholarship and sharing practices impact others. The article presents one approach for facilitating information privilege outreach with undergraduate students. (A list of notes is included.)
