The document discusses the concepts of information literacy and media and information literacy (MIL). It provides background on how information literacy emerged as a term in the 1970s and its definitions over time from organizations like the American Library Association. It outlines several models of the information search process and lists the 7 pillars of information literacy according to SCONUL. The document also discusses how MIL has become an umbrella concept that incorporates related terms like user education, bibliographic instruction, and information competencies. It notes increasing focus on MIL through initiatives by UNESCO and other organizations in recent years.
Water to the Thirsty Reflections on the Ethical Mission of Libraries and Open...Matilde Fontanin
The shift to digital information determines a parallel shift in access modes, and digital libraries are called to action by the ethical foundations of their mission. Open Access makes information potentially available not just to researchers, but to everyone, yet there are still barriers to be overcome in terms of technical infra-structures, points of access, digital and cultural divide.
The mission of libraries, as stated by IFLA Manifesto for Digital Libraries and IFLA/FAIFECode of Ethics for Librarians and other Information Workers, con-verges with the mission and ethics of the BBB declarations on Open Access: it is about delivering information to everyone, from scholars to the “curious minds”, and librarians can be mediators in the wide diffusion, at all levels of society, of scientific, scholarly knowledge, to foster “active” and “scientific” citizenship.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

I’m an information scientist, retired from the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands and still a visiting professor at the University of Pretoria, South Africa. My research concentrates on the access to information, especially on information literacy and the role of (school) libraries. Among others I’m the Information Officer of the IFLA Information Literacy section, member of IFLA School Libraries and Resource Centers section, member of the board of ENSIL and member of IASL and the Dutch Library Association. I participated in several UNESCO Expert Group Meetings on Media and Information Literacy and coordinated and participated in the worldwide UNESCO TtT in Information Literacy workshops series.
People need knowledge to survive, to develop, to relax, to perform tasks, make decisions and solve problems. ... They need knowledge on themselves, their physical environment and their social environment
They can find this information in their information space via 3 processes: Observation, Conversation and Consultation.
Observation refers to the ability to look around and observe objects and processes, this is fact-finding by experimenting and authenticating. If I want to know if it’s raining so I’ll take an umbrella, I look out of the window and make a decision.
Conversation refers to the process in which we ask other people: family, friends, colleagues and experts for the information we need, face-to-face, by phone, by e-mail. So if I want to know if I have to take an umbrella, I can call my sister and ask her. She can look out of the window and decide, maybe she can even inform me better, because she has heard the weather forecast.
Consultation refers to the process in which we consult information professionals working in libraries, archives, museums, information institutes and information departments in organisations. This is called stored or recoded information. Due to technology push and users demands long existing walls and traditions between them are disappearing and we call them ‘memory institutions’ now.
All three processes take place in the ‘real’ world were we can touch the objects and the ‘virtual’ world, that we can only access with digital technology.
However, there are barriers that impede or can even block successful access to needed information. Till now I distinguished four types of potential barriers that are based on interdependencies between people: economic, political, affective and cognitive. Today I add a fifth one personal characteristics
The economic barrier refers to the fact that people are dependent on the production and the distribution of scarce resources including food, clothing and housing. Since the 1970s information is considered as the fourth production factor, which functions as the driving force of the economy. This means that supply and demand factors are applicable to the production, use and control of information and the technical and social infrastructure that is needed for access to information and dissemination. Information costs money. As wealth is unevenly spread the access to information is spread unevenly as well.
The political barrier refers to people's need to protect themselves against physical constraints and aggression of others. To obtain this protection a regulation of violence is needed whereby specialists can enforce power entitled to them through legislation. Hereby the law and order of a society is formally stipulated. These rules have reference to all relations people have with one another. Laws regarding information are for example the regulation of author's rights, legislation on archives, access to government information and freedom for the press. These forms of legislation can be seen as political regulation through which access to information can be controlled. I think of nations that try to block the access to internet and Wikileaks.
The affective barrier refers to the fact that people have feelings for one another. People need one another for affection, love and support. These friendships and emotional relations are not limited only to other people, but also include objects and organisations that are appropriate to a person's culture. Therefore information sources and channels such as books, CDs, DVD’s television and internet are also included. This liking has reference to not only the information media, and channel, but also the information type itself.
The cognitive barrier refers to the fact that people are dependent on one another because they learn from one another. People create knowledge and distribute this between one another in the form of information. Until the development of writing, people communicated mainly through speech and verbal communication. Writing and printing made it possible for information to be disseminated in spite of borders of time and space. Learning from one another happens in diverse ways and is not limited to education at school. The scope and content of what is taught to the people depend on their social position and societal relations. An illiterate farm worker in the 18th century was not as affected by his or her illiteracy as an illiterate person in the first decade of the 21st century in Western society.
The personal characteristics barrier refers to the fact that people are of equal value, but are not equal.: They differ in gender, lenght, social environment and so on. And which is relevant for this presentation they can differ in abilities. In some cases when the differences are significant big we speak of disabillites I’ll come back to that later.
Those who are better than others capable to satisfy their information needs in an effective and efficient way, are more capable to survive and develop themselves than … those with less advantageous traits ...
After Charles Darwin
"...it is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change...“
Therefore a need to be ‘Information Literate’
If we look at a long-term development over the ages we can see three developmetns in what I call the informatisation process :
An ongoing contral over natural forces > technization
An ongoing social and technical differentiation > differentiation
An expanding of interdependency networks > globalisation
What we see is an ongoing working in the cloud. No longer do we carry our information with ourself, printed, on cd, dvd or on a stick. The only thing we need is some device, from cell phone to tablet to computer, electricity and a subscription of a provider. But that all needs money ….

Zurkowski: “The Information Services Environment: Relationship and Priorities”. Related paper no 5. National Commission on Libraries and Information Science
Right from the go – Zurkowski heads his prologue “The Goal: Achieving Information Literacy”; he then goes on to state we experience an overabundance of information whenever available information exceeds our capacity to evaluate it. He claims that this is a universal condition and lists three reasons: 1) That information seeking differs according to time and purpose; 2) There is a multiplicity of sources and access routs resulting in a kaleidoscopic approach taken by people; 3) more human experience is being dealt with in information equivalents. Talking about the then commercial shape of publishing, Zurkowski uses the analogyof an information “prism” gathering “light” (ideas and concepts) and then performing a variety of “refracting” functions (editing, encoding, printing, microfilming, arranging etc) to produce a spectrum of products, services and systems to meet the kaleidoscopic needs of the user. People who are trained in the application of information resources to their work can be called information literate (p.6). It is important to remember that Zurkowski is talking about the access and dissemination of information in the workplace as an economic benefit and necessity, calling on the National Commission to commit to a major national education programme to achieve universal information literacy by 1984; presently he estimates that only one-sixth of the US population are information literate.
The 2003 Prague Declaration was called
"Towards an Information Literate Society" made the connection to the information socity
The 2005 Alexandria Declaration
Beacons of the Information Society to Life long learning
Next to many definitions, there are many models. I developed this one many years ago. It shows how a person comes from Knowledg moment K to K’. It has Knowledge products and evaluation moment.
This is another one British SCONUL 7 pillars of information literacy
There are a lot of terms sometimes used synonymously with IL. For me IL so far was an embrella concept and all other terms can be considered components of it (?)
Information fluency – Mastery of information competencies
User education – Global approach to teach information access to users
Library instruction – Focuses on library skills
Bibliographic instruction – User training on information search and retrieval
Information competencies – Compound skills and goals of information literacy
Information skills – Focuses on information abilities
Already in 1995 Harris and Hodges found 19 related terms. I think today I can find many more.
