The new definition of information literacy as laid out by the American Library Association is as follows:
Information literacy is the set of integrated abilities
encompassing the reflective discovery of information, the understanding of how
information is produced and valued, and the use of information in creating new
knowledge and participating ethically in communities of learning

this definition really tied together the six frames of the
ACRL framework; it highlighted the abilities needed by the 21st
century person, I saw it as being quite concise in relation to my past and current
studies, it also made me think of my interaction with social media and websites
I usually frequent. This lesson’s frame was “Scholarship as conversation” it
really conveyed the importance of conversation in research and learning, how
competing ideas can give rise to novel discoveries and insights, the fluidity of
knowledge and the need for constant evaluation of both what is known and unknown.
Learning about the “Voice” in research and how it is not isolated got me
thinking about the many things I am certain I know, however do not actually.
