Information Literacies edit
"Information literacies" are the multiple literacies individuals may need to function effectively in the global information society.[1]
As such these are distinct from the broad term "Information Literacy."
Definitions edit
The definition of literacy is "the ability to read and write."[2] In practice many more skills are needed to locate, critically assess and make use of information.[3] By extension, this now includes the ability to manage and interact with digital information in personal, shared and public domains.[4][5][6][7]
Historically, "information literacy" has largely been seen from the relatively top-down, organisational viewpoint of library and information sciences.[1] However the same term is also used to describe a generic "information literacy" skill.[1]
"New Literacies" and "21st Century Skills" edit
Towards the end of 20th Century, literacy was redefined to include "new literacies" relating to the new skills needed in everyday experience.[7][3] "Multiliteracies" recognised the multiplicity of literacies, which were often used in combination.[8][7][3] "21st Century skills" frameworks link new literacies to wider life skills such as creativity, critical thinking, accountability.[9] [7]
What these approaches have in common is a focus on the multiple skills needed by individuals to navigate changing personal, professional and public "information landscapes".[7][1][10] [3][11]
Contemporary views edit
- CILIP, the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Practitioners, defines “information literacy” as "the ability to think critically and make balanced judgements about any information we find and use."[6]
- JISC, the Joint Information Systems Committee, refers to information literacy as one of six “digital capabilities,” seen as an interconnected group of elements centered on “ICT literacy”. [5]
- Mozilla groups digital and other literacies as “21st Century Skills“, a “broad set of knowledge, skills, habits and traits that are important to succeed in today's world” [12]
- UNESCO, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization asserts information literacy as a “universal human right.”[4]
