Exploring information literacy meaning

Friday 5 September 2003

Margie, I was interested in your roller coaster analogy. In the workplace where I am currently conducting my research, there does appear to be an 'stop' as you described in you posting. The emerging practictioners who enter the workplace seem to dip in and out of their information landscape, this gives them time to reflect on information, where it is located and how to access it . It also allows them to incorporate new informaiton into their knowledge strucutres

Experts in this workplace also act as an emergency brake for newcomers who are required to demonstrate their information competence to the team.
