Notes from Chris Lemery. keep in the research questions and focus it more to a public lib audience build space planning considerations that advance these literacies
The 2009 Horizon Report identified information literacy as a critical challenge for higher education, noting that there is a growing need for formal instruction in key new skills, including information literacy, visual literacy, and technological literacy. The role of librarians and information literacy in the content creation process is critical. How is the traditional definition of information literacy changing and meshing with other integral digital literacies? Information literacy abilities and dispositions have become more complex as resources and technologies have changed. Multiple literacies, including digital, visual, textual, and technology and media literacies, have meshed with information literacy as crucial skills for this century. (AASL, 2007) Information literacy is morphing from an individually-focused, competency based agenda to one that is socio-cultural, encompasses the entire learning community, and rests on collective intelligence. (Gibson, p. 14) Like other literacies, the vision of what constitutes information literacy has changed from a set of abilities that were library-centric and primarily cognitive-based to one that places an emphasis on learning through practice, ethical behavior, and collective, social intelligence. The new set of K-12 information literacy standards from AASL, the American Association of School Librarians, reflects this change in vision, and I believe that the ACRL standards will soon be revised to integrate this new, more blended perspective as well. In his presentation, Prisms Around Student Learning: Information Literacy, IT Fluency,and Media Literacy. Craig Gibson structures information literacy as a prism, which overlays other critical literacies: The Information Literacy Prism Research Process Information Management Critical Thinking Format-independence Focus on ethics collective intelligence IT Fluency Prism Flexible reasoning applied to technology use (“fluency”) Developmental stages Focus on ethics Media Education Prism User-generated content, creativity New learning environments Social learning Authentic practice Focus on ethics Note focus on ethics throughout all three.
Integrated literacies are a way of thinking, a dispositional habit, and a cultural practice (learning through practice). This convergence of literacies encompasses the skills inherent in each separate literacy, encompassing on overall vision that includes: * Internalized searching / evaluation skills * Deep technology fluency * Knowledge building * Reflection and self-assessment * Understanding of ethical use of information The idea of integrated literacies introduces new questions: How do we plan for “coordinated literacies”across the curriculum, or “integrated literacies”? What kinds of faculty development are necessary to promote an“integrated literacies”agenda? How can each stakeholder group (librarians, technology specialists and others) contribute to this agenda and yet retain a distinctive mission?
The emergence of social media and collaborative online communities requires a reframing of information literacy as a metaliteracy that supports multiple literacy types. Social media environments are transient, collaborative, and free-flowing, requiring a comprehensive understanding of information to critically evaluate, share, and produce content in multiple forms. Metaliteracy promotes critical thinking and collaboration in a digital age, providing a comprehensive framework to effectively participate in social media and online communities. Metaliteracy expands the scope of information literacy as more than a set of discrete skills, challenging us to rethink information literacy as active knowledge production and distribution in collaborative online communities. Producing and sharing information are significant activities for lifelong learning in social media environments and online communities. New skills for metaliteracies: Understanding privacy, information ethics, and intellectual property issues. Learning how to share information in a participatory environment

Tom Mackey and Trudi Jacobson redefine information literacy as a metaliteracy. They state that the
The challenge is due to the fact that despite the widespread agreement on its importance, training in digital literacy skills and techniques is rare in teacher education and school district professional development programs. As teachers begin to realize that they are limiting their students by not helping them to develop and use digital media literacy skills across the curriculum, the lack of formal training is being offset through professional development or informal learning, but we are far from seeing digital media literacy as a norm. This challenge is exacerbated by the fact that digital literacy is less about tools and more about thinking, and thus skills and standards based on tools and platforms have proven to be ephemeral.
