- Threshold Concepts and Information Literacy Townsend, Lori Brunetti, Korey Hofer, Amy R. Transformative Learning Information Literacy Higher Education Models Librarians Literacy Education Library Instruction Academic Achievement Educational Improvement Information Science Libraries What do we teach when we teach information literacy in higher education? This paper describes a pedagogical approach to information literacy that helps instructors focus content around transformative learning thresholds. The threshold concept framework holds promise for librarians because it grounds the instructor in the big ideas and underlying concepts that make information literacy exciting and worth learning about. This paper looks at how this new idea relates to existing standards and posits several threshold concepts for information literacy. (Contains 46 notes.)
