P.Ballineaspig, anglicised Bishopstown, consists of two townlands which are Ballineaspigmore and Ballineaspigbeg. Taken together, both townlands occupy an area identifiable in modern day terms as lying approximately between the old Glasheen National School on the east side and what was, until recently, the University Farm Curraheen Road on the west. A townland is the smallest administrative land division in Ireland. Historians and other scholars are as yet inconclusive about the origins of these divisions. They are certainly as old as the seventeenth century. The townland with which this booklet is concerned is known as Ballineaspigmore. It extends west from the new Regional Hospital at Wilton and includes modern housing estates such as Uam-Var, Benvoirlich and Firgrove. The simplest translation of the townland name is the large land division of the bishop. To clarify a popular misconception, Bishopstown does not derive its name from the fact that in the early eighteenth century a bishop of Cork built his country residence there. The name is much older and can be found in sources dating back to the sixteenth century.Item Integrating information literacy into the curriculum(CONUL, 2011) Breen, Ellen; Gillespie, Brian; Crump, Monica; Antonesa, Mary; McCabe, Grainne; Harpur, Isolde; Mulcahy, Helen; Kendlin, Valerie; Ó Doibhlin, Donna; Higher Education AuthorityThis booklet is aimed at all staff engaged in course design and delivery. Its purpose is to show what information literacy (IL) is, how it can be successfully built into courses and programmes of study, and how library staff can engage in collaborative partnerships to achieve this. It offers:» Practical guidance to support the integration of information literacy» Case studies of good practice within the CONUL Libraries» Helpful tips for teaching staff, programme committees and module teams. Information literacy is a key component in the development of the student as an independent learner. It also contributes to the ability of students to work confidently with information and IT tools, and to develop essential critical thinking skills. All these are essential attributes for the modern graduate and the modern employee. The new graduate must not only have specialist knowledge in their field, but also have a range of generic competencies required to participate in a workplace subject to constant change, the skills to continue learning throughout a professional lifetime. (IUA, 2005). Integrating information literacy is about creating a curriculum which enables students to develop the skills to learn independently and to carry on learning, throughout their employment and life.
