| Description | The phenomenon of information literacy is undeniably one of the central themes of information science. However, only a few studies have been devoted to researching its history or developing the definition of “information literacy”. The study by Behrens (1994) can be considered systematic, while specific perspectives are offered by Bawden (2008), Meulemans (2002) or Carlsson (2019) and Learning (2019). A comprehensive systematic perspective is lacking. For our study, it will be crucial to follow the perspective of developing information literacy’s social and ethical dimensions. |
