“To be information literate, a person must be able to recognize when information is
needed and have the ability to locate, evaluate, and use effectively the needed
information.”
The Presidential Committee on Information Literacy: Final Report (Released Jan. 10, 1989)
Defining Information Literacy

Change was happening in the 1980s…
As the Information Age exploded, librarians wanted to ensure Information Literacy.

The Influence of Patricia Breivik
• Comprehensive Model and Program
• Essential Skill of Lifelong Learning
• Central to Any Curriculum, Not Just the Library
• Inclusion of New Trends • Resource-Based Learning• Undergraduate Research• Service Learning• Inquiry Learning• Problem-Based Learning

Promoting the IP Model
Computing“Base of the infrastructure of contemporary society”
Telecommunications (Comuninformunication)“The convergence of signal, information, and under- standing through an ongoing process of dialogue, sharing, and communication “
Cognitive Science“Human perception, representations of the outside world, and information processing are considered fundamental, not incidental, to experience. “

Anomalies in the Paradigm
More Information = More Knowledge? Knowledge Without Context

Examining Methodology:Beyond Bibliographic Instruction
• Learning is Self-Organizing
• Learning is Self-Renewing
• Learning Leads to Knowledge

The New Model
• Visual & Technological Components
• Social Determinants of Learning Effectiveness
• Learning Rather Than Information
• Sociotechnical Fluency Rather Than Literacy

Redefining Information Literacy
“The definition adopted by ACRL eleven years later expands upon the ALA definition by
emphasizing the depth of the information needed, the ability to find the information effectively and efficiently, the incorporation of new information
with existing knowledge, and an understanding of the information environment.”
“Reframing Information Literacy as a Metaliteracy” – pg. 63

Metaliteracy in Theory
“Metaliteracy provides an integrated and all-inclusive core for engaging with individuals and ideas in digital information environments.”

Metaliteracy in Practice
1. Understand Format Type and Delivery Mode
2. Evaluate User Feedback as Active Researcher
3. Create a Context for User-generated Information
4. Evaluate Dynamic Content Critically
5. Produce Original Content in Multiple Media Formats
6. Understand Personal Privacy, Information Ethics and Intellectual Property Issues
7. Share Information in Participatory Environments

Final Thoughts on Metaliteracy
How do we get our patrons to think critically?
Give an example of a time you adapted to a shifting format. Was the transition painful or seamless?
If you had unlimited funds, how would you promote lifelong learning at your library?
From Donna:
What do you see as the public library's role in promoting literacy in the 21st century?
Should we change the way we provide literacy Instruction in libraries? What about in LIS classes?
