The document discusses the concepts of transliteracy and metaliteracy as frameworks for understanding information literacy, emphasizing the importance of emerging technologies in education. It highlights the dynamic nature of information in social media and the need for critical engagement and collaborative participation in online communities. The authors propose a redefinition of information literacy to encompass these modern dimensions, aiming to prepare individuals for effective interaction in today's information landscape.

His works display the playful and sometimes precarious or unwieldy results of his investigations into the authenticity of contemporary media.” 3Wikipedia, 2011, Rob Matthews, MASS MOCA

13. Within social media contexts, Information is no longer a static object that is simply accessed and retrieved (Mackey and Jacobson, 2011, p.62).It is a dynamic entity that is produced and shared collaboratively with such innovative Web 2.0 technologies as Facebook, Twitter, Delicious, Second Life, and YouTube (Mackey and Jacobson, 2011, p. 62).
