Abstract

Puts forward the notion that a fundamental definition of information literacy must acknowledge the value of knowing the way around systems that affect everyday existance such as complex social, political, economic and work enviroments. Illustrates, under the following headings, how these everyday references can provide strong instructional analogies for communicating the purposes of information transfer as represented in the nation's libraries'information storage and retrieval systems: contextual needs for information seeking; common purposes of interconnected systems; keys to search success; mental models of information systems; user-based teaching model; and acting on what is known.
