The Library According to Mary

This blog is about my experiences in the Educational Technology Ed.D program at the University of Florida. Please feel free to contact me with questions or comments. My interests include the intersection of libraries, education, and technology and their effect on distance education. I'm also exploring the concept of multiple literacies, including how media, visual, and information literacy relate and the implications for libraries.

Information Literacy - An International Perspective

To continue the information literacy disscusion, now that we've looked at a standard American view of information literacy from ACRL, I'd like to look at more international definitions.

Does the American view of information literacy differ from that of England, Europe, and the non-western world? The CLA (Canadian Library Association) Information Literacy Interest Group has a blog site at: http://blog.uwinnipeg.ca/ilig/

Here's a IL site from the UK: http://www.informationliteracy.org.uk/


How will international perspectives shape our definition of information literacy and our various implementation/education strategies?

That UK site is so nice to look at. It’s easy to read and just set up so well. Don’t you think so? It’s great when a site that talks about Information Literacy (or technology) sorta’ practices what it preaches. You got to love the ending thought on their definition, “communicate it in an ethical manner.”
