This book provides a comprehensive update on the status of information literacy activities around the world, particularly from countries where no related literature in English has been published. In these collected papers, ranging from the practical to the theoretical, knowledgeable librarians report on their efforts to establish and develop information literacy programmes. A tool for evaluating all forms of information literacy, this publication is a must-read for anyone who shares an interest in this field.
