| contents | Redefining Information Literacy to Prepare Students for the 21st Century Workforce Monge, Robert Frisicaro-Pawlowski, Erica Information Literacy Information Skills Guidelines Curriculum Development Librarian Teacher Cooperation Instructional Design Educational Change Job Skills Library Instruction Educational Needs Relevance (Education) Information literacy instruction--a set of skills taught in order to identify and find the information needed to solve a problem--traditionally follows a formalized academic model. It assumes information skills can be applied universally and learned individually. However, this approach does not correspond to the social and specialized learning practices in the workforce. This article presents an argument for faculty and librarians to collaborate and redefine information literacy guidelines using specific disciplinary requirements while incorporating non-formal and informal workplace learning practices. This approach would better prepare students for the social and collaborative learning required in a 21st century workforce environment. |
