Vitae have now published the
Information literacy lens for the Researcher Development Framework, along with the Informed Researcher booklet. I'm very pleased to have been involved with the creation of both these publications. This is what Vitae's website says:
"Being informed and informative are important aspects of being a
researcher. In our increasingly information based society, information
literacy is a vital ability that is required to be able to make
effective and efficient decisions. It enables researchers to find,
analyse and evaluate information and become independent lifelong
learners. To highlight these important abilities, RIN, SCONUL and
members of the Working Group on Information-Handling have created a
mapping of information literacy onto the Vitae Researcher Development
Framework, using the SCONUL Seven Pillars of Information Literacy. This
information literacy lens can be used to identify how information
literacy can contribute to researchers' professional development, as
well as identify how the skills and attributes they have developed
through research can contribute to, or underpin their development in
information literacy.
To support the Information literacy lens
The Informed Researcher booklet has been developed as a practical guide to being an information-literate researcher. The booklet is based on the
Information Literacy lens and can be used to audit your skills and form an action plan for taking them forward."
