Information literacy – the researcher’s perspective [Dublin seminar]

Sheila Webber has put a copy of her slides from this presentation on her blog. I was pleased that she used our model of the 7 ages to introduce her talk, which was about her own perpective of IL as a researcher. She highlighted some of the variation in IL from the researcher’s perspective as being:
the nature of the information, different disciplines, different kinds of information behaviour, the IL of the team vs the IL of the lone scholar, different research approaches and different conceptions of research. One newer conception of IL in e-science is the ability to manipulate data and use appropriate tools, an area which librarians need to engage with more fully.
