Why do we teach information literacy? This book argues that the
main purpose of information literacy teaching in higher education
is to enhance student learning. With the impact of new
technologies, a proliferation of information sources and a change
in the student demography, information literacy has become
increasingly important in academia. Also, students that know how to
learn have a better chance of adapting their learning strategies to
the demands of higher education, and thus completing their degree.
The authors discuss the various aspects of how academic integrity
and information literacy are linked to learning, and provide
examples on how our theories can be put into practice. The book
also provides insight on the normative side of higher education,
namely academic formation and the personal development process of
students. The cognitive aspects of the transition to higher
education, including learning strategies and critical thinking, are
explored; and finally the book asks how information literacy
teaching in higher education might be improved to help students
meet contemporary challenges.
