Dr Bruce Ryan and colleagues from Edinburgh Napier University conducted a systematic literature review on information literacy and its impacts on society. They analyzed over 7,000 documents and found research is most comprehensive in education and health, while themes like citizenship and primary education are underrepresented. Barriers to information literacy included lack of government support and inappropriate teaching methods, while enablers included national frameworks and collaboration between librarians and educators. The researchers were unable to determine the most effective research methodologies for creating societal change due to a lack of robust evidence.
