Comments on: Beware Of Overconfidence http://acrlog.org/2009/11/03/beware-of-overconfidence/ Blogging by and for academic and research librarians Sat, 04 Feb 2012 22:32:54 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Sarah Faye Cohen http://acrlog.org/2009/11/03/beware-of-overconfidence/comment-page-1/#comment-144192 Sarah Faye Cohen Tue, 03 Nov 2009 15:40:59 +0000 http://acrlog.org/?p=2156#comment-144192 This is a terrific post. And as you say, it's important for us to take that overconfidence and teach from there. Isn't that where creative information literacy instruction steps in: using the confidence students (and anyone) has about Google and applying it in more challenging environments? Overconfidence can be an excellent place from which to start true evaluation of our skills and demands of information. I wonder though, how this idea of overconfidence clouds our priorities in the academic library, especially when it comes to technology. But perhaps that's a blog post of my own! Thanks for the thoughtfulness. Great post. This is a terrific post. And as you say, it’s important for us to take that overconfidence and teach from there.
