- Troublesome Concepts and Information Literacy: Investigating Threshold Concepts for IL Instruction Hofer, Amy R. Townsend, Lori Brunetti, Korey Information Literacy Library Instruction Academic Libraries Library Science Librarians Surveys Information Retrieval Information Utilization Metadata Databases Intellectual Property Plagiarism Citations (References) Internet Search Engines Student Attitudes College Students Librarians regularly encounter students who struggle to understand and apply information literacy concepts. A qualitative survey administered to information literacy practitioners asked about troublesome content and analyzed results using the threshold concepts pedagogical framework first described by Jan Meyer and Ray Land. A threshold concept transforms the learner's view of content and helps integrate previously learned material; threshold concepts are portals that, once traversed, bring insight into how to think and act like a practitioner within a discipline. This project uses the data collected to propose seven threshold concepts for information literacy. (Contains 3 figures and 25 notes.)
