After reading a plethora of definitions regarding information literacy I finally got an overall idea of the concept (or at least I hope so). As before, I find James Herrings ideas and arguments very convincing and following his concept it becomes clear that IL in schools can not merely be seen as a set of skills.
Society, globalisation and information are changing and spreading on the fast track, so it is a logical consequence to have a definition of information literacy that “flows” with this evolution and enables students to transfer their IL skills from one learning environment to the next.
