Description:
From Booklist
This second edition of a 1998 work attempts to cover all aspects of information literacy, from the origins of the concept to its economic and political importance. The text is broken down into 10 chapters, beginning with the definition
and evolution of the concept and extending to its presence in K-12 and higher education. The chapters in turn contain numerous subheadings, resulting in a useful quick-scan resource that provides rapid access to the background and context of this
pervasive concept and a quick guide to past and present research and assessment efforts. There are numerous charts, outlines, and bulleted lists that provide articulate and concise summaries of the sometimes nebulous ideas surrounding information
literacy. Extensive references, including an annotated ERIC bibliography of nearly 90 pages, are included. Finally, there are nine helpful appendixes on topics like chronology, rubrics, and standards. RBB
