| contents | Loss of Faith in the Origins of Information Literacy in E-Environments: Proposal of a Holistic Approach Nazari, Maryam Webber, Sheila Electronic Publishing Distance Education Holistic Approach Lifelong Learning Information Literacy Internet Educational Environment Electronic Learning Computer Literacy Library Instruction Librarians Information Seeking Information Technology The original concept of information literacy (IL) identifies it as an enabler for lifelong learning and learning-to-learn, adaptable and transferable in any learning environment and context. However, practices of IL in electronic information and learning environments (e-environments) tend to question the origins, and workability, of IL on the grounds that the generic models of IL are inadequate for the complex and evolving context of e-environments. Conducting an analytical review of the literature on the approaches taken to adapt IL in e-environments, we discuss how a failure in understanding the dynamic context and components of e-environments and IL have resulted in the emergence of a marginalised way of viewing and practicing IL in these environments. Drawing on Nazari's (2011) contextual study of IL in an online distance learning programme, we propose a holistic way of viewing and practicing IL in EL environments which is aligned with IL origins; it enables the e-learner to conceptualise IL and customise it to their actual learning style and needs. This study can be of value to IL scholars and practitioners who are interested in the concept and practice of IL in e-environments. (Contains 1 table and 4 figures.) |
