Transliteracy for librarians

http://hlwiki.slais.ubc.ca/index.php/Transliteracy_for_librarians


.

Information literacy, according to the American Library Association, is
defined as "...a set of abilities requiring individuals to recognize when
information is needed and the ability to locate, evaluate, and use
effectively the needed information". In its Presidential Committee on IL,
ALA states that "information literacy is a survival skill in the
Information Age" and forms the basis of lifelong learning. Not
surprisingly, IL is common to all disciplines, learning environments and
levels of education as it enables learners to master content and to be
self-directed in their own learning. This involves some understanding of
where to find information, how to effectively search for it and a set of
core skills needed to assess information. Further, being information
fluent requires knowing how to define a research topic, select words that
express the topic and ask questions that might be answered by locating
relevant information. Framing search strategies that account for sources
of information and the many ways information is organized is also
important (ALA 1989).

.

Some librarians criticize existing infolit standards as they reflect a
print era and not the very important digital era of social media and open
searching. In fact, IL is not even a close equivalent to concepts such as
computer literacy (which requires knowledge of hardware, software and
networks including wireless), "library literacy" (which requires knowledge
of library catalogues, collections and services) or numeracy (knowledge of
numbers and statistics). That said, there are many overlapping elements
among these concepts. (See literacy wheel).

.

In an era of web 2.0, IL requires the building of social media skills
especially with respect to online collaboration and networking.

Health disciplines and information literacy

.

The ACRL says that information literacy is the ability to locate, evaluate
and use information effectively. Its principles are widely encouraged in
academic libraries in North America so that librarians can design
effective programs for users. Academic libraries make commitments to these
principles through the design of websites, programs and strategic planning
processes. However, it must be said that many of the IL standards reflect
the print era and do not account for specific skills needed for the
digital age. In 2003, the MLA - Medical Library Association (U.S.)
initiated its own information literacy taskforce but many of its findings
need to be recontextualized for a markedly different information landscape
of 2010.
