“…We believe that public libraries may benefit from invoking a theory and praxis of information literacy that is based on the notion of assets, not deficits (University of Memphis, n.d.). Such a view of IL is oriented around individuals' ways of knowing and their lived experiences using information, as opposed to imparting a fixed set of IL skills (Todd, 2017). Not being bound by formalized IL structures may be an opportunity for public libraries to approach IL in new, creative ways (Chan, 2009;Partridge et al, 2008).…”

Purpose: To investigate how U.S. public libraries offer information literacy (IL) instruction to their patrons. Design/methodology: A content analysis of eight library websites to determine 1) passive information literacy instruction and 2) active literacy instruction. Results: Library web guides offer passive information literacy instruction by highlighting resources patrons may wish to access to resolve information inquiries. Further, we found that a little less than 50% of library programming offers some IL instruction, the majority of which relates to helping patrons learn to use tools to create information products. Originality/value: Information literacy is the ability to recognize the need for information, to effectively find information to meet that need, and to use information for some purpose or goal. Academic, school, and public libraries believe that understanding and using information critically and effectively bring gains to an individual and to society. However, they diverge in how and why they engage in IL instruction. Our findings suggest that less than half of the libraries surveyed are providing active IL instruction, despite the recognition of the benefits IL provides.

“…He perceived a need to develop an understanding of IL from various perspectives and theoretical approaches, and to develop research leading to professional frameworks that accounted for this diversity. A deeper understanding of meaningful pedagogies for IL instruction, the true implications for enhancing the instructional capacities of librarians, the intersection of learning theory and other theoretical approaches, conceptions of information and knowledge, research results, and life-centered outcomes should become the main concerns for the future of IL, according to Todd (2017).…”

How to Improve Information Literacy at School: The Students’ Perspective

Information literacy (IL) is gaining importance and recognition as modern society develops. Consequently, it is becoming increasingly vital to initiate its development from very early educational stages. Though students are the main agents of this process their opinions are rarely considered to design and assess IL development programs. This study conducted at a Chilean private school aims to bridge this gap. How do students value their school's IL program? What importance do they attribute to different IL skills? Where and how do they acquire and apply these skills? The main findings evidenced formal and informal learning environments; guided in-class work and solo work seemed to be the main means, and there appeared to be conceptual confusion among IL, computer, and digital skills. Additionally, the current study provides a set of suggestions to enhance IL at the targeted school.
