I find it amazing that there is so much information
on ‘Information Literacy’, I also find it amazing that there are so many
definitions. It is undoubtedly important for Long Life Learning as stated in
‘The Australian and NZ Information Literacy Framework’ people who are
information literate ‘know how knowledge is organised, how to find information,
and how to use information in such a way that others can learn from them’.
The major difference that I have found with the
definitions provided in this module as opposed to the definitions proposed in
earlier modules is that they are more in-depth and focused more on individual
needs within individual communities. These definitions identify many standards
of information literate people but more specifically they identify that
information literate people take part in independent learning and lifelong
learning.
These recently proposed definitions differ from
previous definitions as they highlight Information Literacy as the ability or
understanding of knowing how to learn.
