Information literacy research is growing in importance, as
evidenced by the steady increase in dissertations and research
papers in this area. However, significant theoretical gaps remain.
Information Literacy Through Theory provides an approachable
introduction to theory development and use within information
literacy research. It 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
information literacy and the social to information literacy through
an equity mindset, 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. This book
will provide a focal point for researchers, practitioners and
students interested in the creation and advancement of conceptually
rich information literacy research and practice.
