Back from Cornwall and my holidays. Cornwall is one of the most beautiful places to visit. I have also just realised how long it has been since I updated this blog—August has simply vanished!
Today I have been reading an excellent article:
Langford, L. (1998). "Information literacy: a clarification." School Libraries Worldwide 4(1): 59-72.
This is a thought provoking and critical review of information literacy from the view of a school librarian. Langford provides a good introduction and background. She provides a short history and discussion of ‘literacy’ and the recent fashion of lexicon inflation through the creation of a myriad of new literacies. After this discussion, Langford turns her attention to clarifying a definition for the term. This is a very good and easy to read article which provides any information literacy student with some of the issues around literacy and information literacy.
