“Information literacy is the adoption of appropriate information behaviour to identify through whatever channel or medium, information well fitted to information needs, leading to wise and ethical use of information in society.”

(Sheila Webber and Bill Johnston)

SCONUL Seven Pillars framework

The MEGO effect! “Most instructors have

stood in front of a class only to wonder if their only purpose on that day was to serve as a sedative for the majority of the class.”
