Information literacy has become a powerful concept for library and information science professionals. However, information literacy must take into account culture to meet the challenges of a global society. This paper argue that a new framework is needed to move the discussion of information literacy from a conceptual understanding to a model that identifies the influence of culture on how individuals think about and make meaning from information, and how they comprehend and use information. Pedagogy for a cultural model of information literacy grounded in constructivist learning theory is proposed for the LIS profession.
The author a shift to a new paradigm requires the consistent use of a vocabulary that reflects thinking acts rather than behaviors. Strategies for a cultural model of information literacy to become more knowledgeable about learners’ backgrounds, so to develop a deeper understanding of diverse perspectives that come from communities of learner thinking together. The author suggests that potential of librarians to affect change in communities is powerful and profound.
