Lessons from the workplace: Information literacy as practice

Seminar open to the public

As an emergent avenue for exploring workplace learning, the practice of information literacy (IL) requires a research architecture that recognizes the holistic and complex nature of social and embodied information that is required to develop expertise.
Drawing from social and practice theory, and from empirical research into workplace information literacy, this presentation will explore the role of IL in the construction of workplace knowledge and consider the challenge this poses for researchers and educators and information practitioners.
