In this presentation we define information literacy and the integral role that evaluation of information plays. Dr Angela Feekery from Massey University will explain the concepts underpinning the Rauru Whakarare Evaluation Framework - a tool used to unpack the authority of information sources. She will outline the importance of creating a space for evaluation in the various disciplines and curricula. Victoria University Māori customary law professor Carwyn Jones will discuss the evaluation of traditional legal sources using the framework and show how the framework interacts with the Māori world view. Catherine Doughty, a subject librarian at Victoria University will share her work in collaboration with academics to teach evaluation of information to students within different disciplines. Then, participants will have the chance to discuss ways they can collaborate to enhance students’ evaluation capability within their disciplines.
