Rooted in posing the key question 'how do the activities of the information literacy community fulfil the characteristics of a discipline?', this handbook will provide a new approach to framing information literacy as a soft applied discipline. This book will highlight how information literacy fulfils the characteristics of an academic discipline and will showcase current and historical scholarly activities, the body of information literacy research, and the theoretical and methodological work undertaken by the community. This handbook aims to provide a richer understanding of the nature of information literacy and its interplay in disciplines, in order to support the advancement of interdisciplinary research that explores how information is used in disciplinary settings from multiple perspectives. Chapters will cover:
- Communication channels that facilitate interactions between researchers and educators
- An overview of the theories and methodologies used by the information literacy community
- A description of the ethical values employed and respected by the community
This is an essential read for scholars, teachers, faculty members, administrators and LIS students, looking to discover how to redefine information literacy when re-situated as an academic discipline.
What a rich foundation for researchers and practitioners to push the boundaries of information literacy as a discipline, aligning it with many others! The Information Literacy Handbook: Charting the Discipline, edited by Karen Kaufmann and Clarence Maybee, has all the elements to make it highly successful. With contributions from leading scholars worldwide, the book bridges theory, empirical research, and practice training to shape the discipline’s next directions.
