I have spent the day adding to research and clarifying. Information Literacy is not going to be tamed and put in a box. No more... As a term, and as an action, and as a definition, it changes by the hour. In fact, information literacy varies by the one developing the definition and for the specific group or outcome being evaluated. Isn't that the crux of deeply understanding the term however? Information Literacy can no longer simply be defined. And the definition that may accommodate today, will no longer work by tomorrow. Perhaps there is no possibility of a definition any longer.
Information Literacy is a range of skills and understandings specific to a time, and/or place and/or people and/or problem.
This is a wonderful website. I have only briefly explored it, but the attitude and understanding is exemplary. Check it out!
