“…LIS authors have mostly seen the EL environment as an environment in which e-learners require information skills that enable them to deal with different types of electronic information resources and tools. This can be traced in the findings of several studies on students' seeking behaviour in electronic environments (Eskola, 1998), student attitudes toward electronic information resources (Ray and Day, 1998), and studies on factors affecting success or failure of learning in EL environments (Day et al, 1996;Forsyth, 2003;Stansfield et al, 2004).…”

Problem statementAs information and communication technologies have become widely adopted, information literacy (IL) has become a crucial component of learning and teaching in e-environments (Andretta, 2005;Bridgland and Whitehead, 2004;Doherty et al., 1999;Hadengue, 2005;Joint, 2003;Spitzer et al., 1998). There has been a trend towards adapting IL to dynamic e-environments: environments in which the forms, content, and ways of searching, accessing, evaluating, and using information sources and services are evolving (Andretta, 2005; Bridgland AbstractThe original concept of information literacy (IL) identifies it as an enabler for lifelong learning and learning-to-learn, adaptable and transferable in any learning environment and context. However, practices of IL in electronic information and learning environments (e-environments) tend to question the origins, and workability, of IL on the grounds that the generic models of IL are inadequate for the complex and evolving context of e-environments. Conducting an analytical review of the literature on the approaches taken to adapt IL in e-environments, we discuss how a failure in understanding the dynamic context and components of e-environments and IL have resulted in the emergence of a marginalised way of viewing and practicing IL in these environments. Drawing on Nazari's (2011) contextual study of IL in an online distance learning programme, we propose a holistic way of viewing and practicing IL in EL environments which is aligned with IL origins; it enables the e-learner to conceptualise IL and customise it to their actual learning style and needs. This study can be of value to IL scholars and practitioners who are interested in the concept and practice of IL in e-environments.

“…Essas expressões, segundo Day et al (1996), significam muitas coisas para muitas pessoas, levando o leitor a ter cuidado com as várias interpretações que lhes são atribuídas. Tammaro e Salarelli (2008), por exemplo, sobre a biblioteca eletrônica, explicam que esse termo, empregado na dé-cada de 1980, significava a informatização da biblioteca; aquela que utilizava vários tipos de equipamentos eletrônicos, grandes computadores com terminais.…”
