The document discusses rebuilding the Seven Pillars model of information literacy. The original model is updated to better reflect the information literacy landscape. The new model is closely linked to the Researcher Development Framework and recognizes the importance of information literacy in the research process. Specifically, it focuses on how information seeking, literacy, management, synthesizing, evaluating, intellectual property rights, attribution, and publication are key aspects of research that the Seven Pillars model addresses. Feedback is sought on the revised model and how others might envision using or further developing it.
