2. What is social justice?

What is Information Literacy?
Literal meaning:
 ‘Information’ from Latin informatio (concept or idea)
 ‘Literate’ from Latin literatus (learned or lettered)
Traditional literacy - basic ability to read, write,
calculate
 Read and comprehend a map, recipe book, labels
 Fill out a job application
 Add, subtract.
05/23/18 QQML18, Chania, Greece 4
How does LIS define Info Literacy?
 ‘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)
(focus on academics, students)
 ‘ability to think critically and make balanced
judgements about any information we find and use.
It empowers us as citizens to develop informed
views and to engage fully with society’ (CILIP, 2018)
(focus on informed citizenry)
05/23/18 QQML18, Chania, Greece 5
Information Literacy: A Meta-Literacy
‘1st century demands that a
literate person possess a
wide range of abilities
and competencies…
many literacies’ (NCTE, 2013)
05/23/18 QQML18, Chania, Greece 6
Why is Information Literacy Important?
 According to ALA (2000), information literacy
is ‘increasingly important in the contemporary
environment of rapid technological change
and proliferating information resources…’
 ‘Information literacy forms the basis for
lifelong learning and is common to all
disciplines, to all learning environments, and
to all levels of education’
05/23/18 QQML18, Chania, Greece 7
What is Social Justice?
 ‘Distribution of wealth, opportunities, and
privileges within a society’ (Oxford Dictionary)
 Left view – equitable distribution of wealth and
privileges
 Right/libertarian view - equitable distribution of
access and opportunities
05/23/18 QQML18, Chania, Greece 8
Why are Libraries Important for
Information Literacy & Social Justice?
 ‘Access to information is a fundamental human
right that can break the cycle of poverty and
support sustainable development.’
 ‘The library is the only place in many communities
where people can access information that will help
improve their education, develop new skills, find
jobs, build businesses, make informed agricultural
and health decisions, or gain insights into
environmental issues’ (IFLA, 2016).
