Lesson 7

This lesson produced many philosophical thoughts in my mind as it dealt with the frame “Information creation as a process” philosophical because creation is something that is synonymous with a supreme being, however the reality is we are all creators; we constantly use information to formulate plans, objectives and we are constantly conveying this through sharing information even in an informal setting of social media. This frame is characterised by the knowledge that information creation is a result of purpose, message and delivery; so many times, we come across a topic we are passionate about and it prompts us (purpose) to share (message) our thoughts with people we know (delivery) this act is then seen as an intentional act of creation of information. In the academic spere this frame really builds on the previous ACRL frames I have encountered as it is concerned with the active process of creating information.
