At Project Information Literacy (PIL), the nonprofit independent research institute I lead, a group of library and information science and new media researchers — including myself — conduct national research about the information seeking behavior of college students and recent graduates.
Lomax hoped the young men would bring back audio documents for the Archive of American Folk Song at the Library of Congress. Now she sees herself preparing students for lives of civicengagement.

Discussion of controversial topics is now a core subject in their efforts, along with teaching media literacy and giving students the opportunity to engage in hands-on civicengagement projects. You can start with iCivics’ NewsFeed Defenders game before exploring our News Literacy Unit or our Mini Media Literacy Library.
