Vision:
This site attempts to take both a broader and a more focused look at the idea of information literacy. It seeks to ascertain and enunciate the core literacies or competencies students and scholars of Slavic are expected to demonstrate (or at least possess) in order to be productive members of the field. It focuses on those literacies and competencies that are often taken for granted, but which must be acquired outside of the usual scholarly or educational channels (especially the professional, technology, and library literacies).
Using this Site:
This site is organized into 4 categories and multiple sections and subsections. These 4 categories are available from any page on the website. The sections within them (and subsection, if any) are only available locally -- that is, from within that category. When you click on a category, the sections are displayed. Likewise, clicking on a section will reveal any subsections.
Technical Issues:
This site uses CSS [cascading style sheets] for the style and positioning of most graphical and textual elements. If you have accessibility issues with this site, please contact me, and I will either attempt to address them or will offer an alternate source for the content.
I have designed this site to work best with resolutions at or greater than 600 x 800. Those users with smaller monitors, or with monitors set to lower resolutions may wish to adjust their resolution or browser settings.
