Abstract
As we mark the 50th anniversary of information literacy it is timely to predict that the future of information (and digital) literacy will involve a creative turn. An epistemological movement towards cooperative inquiries, embracing learner creativity and the inclusion of previously hidden voices is emerging in response to calls to decolonise and liberate our libraries. Library creativity has gained traction through the library makerspace movement. Library makerspaces provide a physical location for co-creation, collaboration and active dialogue in a making environment. Positioning learners from marginalised groups as co-leaders and knowledge creators and attending to power and belonging is vital to the success of this movement.
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.
