What is Information Literacy?
- Information literacy is a set of integrated abilities encompassing the reflective discovery of information, understanding how information is created and valued, and using information to create new knowledge and participate ethically in learning communities. (ACRL, 2015).
Information Literacy Framework
- Authority Is Constructed and Contextual: Authority differs based on context and source credibility within the community. Expert judgment is informed by skepticism and evaluating authority based on the information need. (Peer-reviewed article vs. personal blog)
- Information Creation as a Process: Information is created and shared through diverse methods, reflecting different levels of quality. Information's usefulness is evaluated based on its creation processes. (Comparing a formal research article to a news story)
- Information Has Value: Information functions as a commodity, educational tool, and influence. Legal and socioeconomic factors shape information value, impacting accessibility and use. (Paywalled academic journals vs. open-access publications)
- Research as Inquiry: Research involves asking questions to explore new perspectives, following an iterative process. Building on existing knowledge and refining questions deepens understanding. (Developing a research question evolving with new findings)
- Scholarship as Conversation: Scholarly discourse is ongoing, with diverse perspectives contributing over time. It involves debate and exchange to build collective understanding within a field. (Citing previous research as a contribution to an ongoing academic conversation)
- Searching as Strategic Exploration: Effective searching is iterative, requiring flexible strategies. Re-evaluate approach based on information found, since searching is often not linear. (Using different databases or keywords to gather comprehensive information)
