Arcadia IL curriculum. Arcadia IL curriculum Project outline. Emma Coonan and Jane Secker Information literacy is widely recognised as a key part of lifelong independent learning. It has been defined as "... knowing when and why you need information, where to find it, and how to evaluate, use and communicate it in an ethical manner. " (CILIP, 2004) Meanwhile UNESCO take a broader view that goes beyond learning, stating that: Information literacy empowers people in all walks of life to seek, evaluate, use and create information effectively to achieve their personal, social, occupational and educational goals.
It is a basic human right in a digital world and promotes social inclusion in all nations. Information literacy can be defined as a set of skills, attributes and behaviour that underpins student learning in the digital age. SCONUL's Seven Pillars of Information Literacy model, widely accepted in higher education, sets out the skills and attributes that an information literate person should have. References. The Informed Researcher Booklet and Information literacy lens on the Vitae Researcher Development Framework out now - www.vitae.ac.uk/researchers. In collaboration with the Research Information Network (RIN) and the Society of College, National and University Libraries (SCONUL), Vitae is pleased to announce the publication of The informed researcher booklet and an Information literacy lens on the Vitae Researcher Development Framework. Being informed and informative are important aspects of being a researcher. In our increasingly information based society, information literacy is a vital ability that is required to be able to make effective and efficient decisions.
It enables researchers to find, analyse and evaluate information and become independent lifelong learners. To highlight these important abilities, RIN, SCONUL and members of the Working Group on Information-Handling have created a mapping of information literacy onto the Vitae Researcher Development Framework, using the SCONUL Seven Pillars of Information Literacy.
