[NORSLIS] Information Literacy through Theory

[Ola Pilerot]

Alison Hicks, Annemaree Lloyd and Ola Pilerot have recently published their co-edited volume, "Information Literacy through Theory" with Facet.

In this volume, which unites thirteen chapters from leading information literacy scholars, Hicks, Lloyd and Pilerot provide an approachable introduction to theory development and use within information literacy research. Recognising that significant theoretical gaps remain, even as information literacy grows in importance, Information Literacy Through Theory provides a space for key theorists in the field to discuss, interrogate and reflect on the applicability of theory within information literacy research, as well as the implications for this work within a variety of contexts. Each chapter considers a particular theory as its focal point, from democracy to embodiment to positioning theory, and unpacks what assumptions the theory makes about key concepts and the ways in which the theory enables or constrains our understanding of information literacy.
