“…Improving information literacy skills can help in critical evaluation of pieces of information and balanced decision-making, which may reduce information overload and its consequences ( Lee, Lee, & Lee-Geiller, 2020 ). Information literacy skills may involve information acquisition, information evaluation, and information use ( Ahmad, Widén, & Huvila, 2020 ).…”

Highlights The study examines the factors leading to information avoidance during COVID-19 pandemic. Mass Media, Print Media and official websites are used for information seeking during the pandemic. Only Social Media exposure results in information overload and information anxiety. Information overload is strongly associated with information anxiety which gives rise to information avoidance. We extend the applicability of S-O-R model to the information behavior domain, especially during the uncertain times.

“…In addition, more attention has been focused on the development of information literacy in various, diverse and specific fields in recent years. Liaqat et al ( 2020 ) proved that financial information literacy can help manage earnings, Ahmad et al ( 2020 ) investigated the relationship between CEO information literacy and innovation in enterprises, and Chebet and Cheruiyot ( 2020 ) identified the contributions of farmers’ information literacy to productivity and profitability. The topic is of great significance to improve citizens' lives and work, promote social progress and eliminate the information gap.…”

Investigation of the topic of information literacy and its changes can be informative for researchers and provide a better understanding of the corresponding domains. This study conducted a topic model dynamic analysis of the articles on information literacy studies in the Web of Science core collection database that were published from 2005 to 2019. The global topics and their popularities, topical similarities and correlations, along with the evolution of temporal local topics and the diffusion of subject local topics were analyzed and presented. Nine global topics differed in terms of their temporal and subject characteristics, and this study focused on ability, technology, field, people, place and application of information literacy. For the temporal local topics, crossing was the main evolutionary mechanism; hence, the core topic words were relatively stable, but few new research directions have been explored in recent years. For the subject local topics, absorbing with division and absorbing were the main mechanisms, which supported the diffusion progress of information literacy studies among subjects. However, it is necessary to promote the development of future research through the innovative development of multidisciplinary integration. Researchers and practitioners should focus on the impact of information technology, increase the breadth and depth of the research field, and develop innovative evaluation methods that are based on data to promote the comprehensive, sustainable and effective improvement in information literacy.

“…Items for measuring performance expectancy, effort expectancy and intention to use were borrowed from Venkatesh et al (2003). Digital literacy and information literacy were measured using items from Ng (2012) and Ahmad et al (2020) and Kurbanoglu et al (2006). In total, 34 items and their contents were adapted for the use of digital technologies for teaching and learning purposes.…”

Digital technologies fundamentally transform teaching and learning in higher education environments, with the pace of technological change exacerbating the challenge. Due to the current pandemic situation, higher education environments are all now forced to move away from traditional teaching and learning structures that are simply no longer adaptable to the challenges of rapidly changing educational environments. This research develops a conceptual model and employs Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) using Partial least Squares (PLS) to examine the impact of information and digital literacy on 249 Finnish university staff and students’ intention to use digital technologies. The findings show the complex interrelationship between literacy skills and digital technologies among university staff and students. The results illustrate that information literacy has a direct and significant impact on intention to use; while, unlike our expectation, digital literacy does not have a direct impact on the intention to use. However, its effect is mediated through performance expectancy and effort expectancy. The authors suggest that to understand the changes that are taking place in higher education environment, more attention needs to be paid to redefining policies and strategies in order to enhance individuals’ willingness to use digital technologies within higher education environments.
