Information Literacy

The readings on Information Literacy (IL) were very interesting. There are varied ideas about the way IL should be implemented in schools.

The reading Six frames for information literacy education (2007), covered a range of different perspectives regarding IL. It was interesting to read how each frame has a different view of learning, teaching and IL.

Abilock (2015) describes every part of the information literacy process as building blocks. This gives a clear overview of the process.

The readings are very diverse. IL doesn’t seem to have a universal description yet. The different views on teaching seem to transfer to the different views of IL. In my opinion, the IL frame work or building block you choose, depends on your teaching style and the school.
