About this title

Synopsis

In the global context of escalating information-richness, the preparation of individuals to be effective information users - as learners, as employees and as citizens - is becoming an imperative. For a long time, it had been common to view IT literacy and information skills literacy from two different perspectives, but these are now converging in educational contexts as integrated IT-support and managed learning environments become the norm.
