Information literacy is a continuum of skills, behaviours, approaches and values that is so deeply entwined with the uses of information as to be a fundamental element of learning,
scholarship and research.
It is the defining characteristic of the discerning scholar, the informed and judicious
citizen, and the autonomous learner.

Joining up support
“The immediate connotation of the term ‘embedding’ is placement and addition.
While present in the [curriculum] it is neither integral nor integrated. It is
there as an add-on and can possibly be done without.”
(Victor Lim Fei, 2012)
Embedding vs integrating?
“… if the teachers, whether they’re school or university teachers, don’t have the same
view of IL that we do, it’s always going to be [about] the skills. And the skills are fine but anybody can teach the skills; it’s teaching the changing attitude and the different
approach that I think has to come from the teachers.”
(ANCIL Expert Consultation Report, 2011)
Challenging perceptions …
LSE Survey examined staff attitudes towards IL
Also explored perceptions of librarians as teachers
Evidence of Bury’s (2011) ‘disconnect’
Much IL optional, remedial – student self select
Staff questioned relevance Need more evidence to show the
value and impact of IL

“It is as absurd to try and solve the problems of
education by giving people access to information as it
would be to solve the housing problem by giving people
access to bricks.”
