What does Information Literacy mean? Some examples from different disciplines
This document summarizes a presentation on the differing conceptions of information literacy across academic disciplines. It discusses findings from a study that interviewed academics in marketing, English, chemistry, and civil engineering. Key findings included differences in the types of information considered important, how information is accessed and used, and the focus of information literacy. For example, marketing focused on using data and problem-solving while English emphasized accessing texts and developing critical thinking skills. The presentation concludes by discussing implications for creating relationships between librarians and academics around information literacy.
