Abstract
This article explores the transformative impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on information literacy (IL) in schools, advocating for a paradigm shift. It emphasises the role of school librarians in leveraging AI, especially through the Framework Of Skills for Inquiry Learning (FOSIL), to seamlessly integrate IL into the curriculum. Addressing librarian hesitancy towards AI, the article stresses the urgency for librarians to embrace the technology and position themselves as essential guides in navigating ethical considerations. The discussion underscores the importance of inquiry-based learning, aligning with IL goals and preparing students for an AI-driven future. It envisions a collaborative future where librarians, armed with clear roles and frameworks like FOSIL, actively contribute to shaping education. The article calls for collective exploration by educators, librarians, and policymakers to ensure a holistic approach in preparing students for the challenges and opportunities of the future.
期刊介绍:
JIL is an international, peer-reviewed journal that aims to investigate information literacy in all its forms to address the interests of diverse IL communities of practice. To this end it publishes articles from both established and new authors in this field. JIL welcomes contributions that push the boundaries of IL beyond the educational setting and examine this phenomenon as a continuum between those involved in its development and delivery and those benefiting from its provision. This journal provides immediate open access to its content on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge. The journal is published under the Gold Open Access model, because the CILIP Information Literacy Group believes that knowledge should be shared. It is therefore free and requires no subscription. In addition authors are not required to pay a fee to be published in JIL. The Journal of Information Literacy is published twice a year. Additional, special themed issues are also possible and the editor welcomes suggestions. JIL has an acceptance rate of 44% for articles submitted to the journal.
