Michelle,
I’m currently looking into the area of information literacy for my research masters. Only just starting to get into it I’ve read a couple of books and journal articles, just wondering if anyone can recommend any readings which I should be looking at.
I have a few references that may help you grapple with the underlying epistemology and politics of information literacy programs: Kapitzke, Cushla (2003). Information literacy: a positivist epistemology and a politics of outformation. Educational Theory, 53(1), 37-53. Lloyd, Annemaree (2005). Information literacy: Different contexts, different concepts, different truths? Journal of Librarianship and Information Science, 37(2), 82-88. Lloyd, Annemaree (2006). Information literacy landscapes: an emerging picture. Journal of Documentation, 62(5), 570-583. Sundin, Olof (2008). Negotiations on information-seeking expertise: A study of web-based tutorials for information literacy. Journal of Documentation, 64, 24-44. -Tanya -- Tanya Rabourn tanya@pixelcharmer.com Doctoral Student/Assistant Instructor The School of Information The University of Texas at Austin
