Information Literacy
“Information literacy is the adoption of appropriate
information behaviour to identify, through whatever
channel or medium, information well fitted to
information needs, leading to wise and ethical use
of information in society.”
(Johnston & Webber, 2004)
Adventures in Second Life: a personal history
Exploring information literacy
• Students researching information behaviour and
  (this year) information literacy
• Advocating information literacy in SL
• My conception of IL already based around holistic
  conception of information and information
  behaviour: SL illuminating rather transforming
  experience of IL
Digital literacies
Photoshop




Common with people who blog/create e.g. “Q: Have you found, developed or improved any skills
because of SL? A: SL photography has forced me to expand my photoshop ninja training.”
(Lutetia, A. (2009) Interview: Guage Laville. 11 October. http://analutetia.com/blog/interview-gauge-laville/#more-8502)
