Pedagogy Journals outside of LIS

From ILI-L:

The Research and Scholarship Committee is pleased to announce the revision
of an online publication collaboratively authored by 2006-2007 committee
members Nancy Dewald, Wendy Holliday, Merinda McLure (Chair), Karen Munro
(Intern), Barbara Petersohn, and Rob Withers.

"A Selected List of Pedagogical Journals in Fields Outside of LIS"

This updated and expanded list aims to provide academic librarians and LIS
students with periodical sources for current awareness of disciplinary and
higher education pedagogy, and with suggested venues for publication
outside of the LIS literature. The list includes journals that have a focus
on higher education and pedagogy and are peer-reviewed and published in
English in the United States. Suggested journal titles are drawn from the
arts and humanities, the sciences, mathematics, the social sciences, and
higher education.

When 'Digital Natives' go to the library.

If you can look beyond the comparison of the library to the church, Jaschik makes a few interesting points. I know I am prone to doing the following.

"A digital native would never read an instruction manual with a new game before simply trying the game out, Gee said. Similarly, students shouldn’t be expected to read long explanations of tools they may use before they start experimenting with them."
