Definitions of information literacy have evolved over the past 50 years. How does "second wave" information literacy differ from "first wave" information
literacy? What changes may be in store for how we think about information literacy as a concept and how we practice information literacy? Should we think about information literacy as
a discipline? How will the relationship between information literacy and critical information literacy continue to develop? How should the Framework for Information
Literacy evolve? This discussion will explore how our conception of information literacy has evolved and may continue to transform.
