C. Publications The document which launched the SCONUL “7 pillars of Information Literacy” (SCONUL Task Force on Information Skills, 1999) is still much cited. As has been mentioned already, SCONUL and the HEA have also published a booklet on information literacy and learning outcomes (Peters, 2004) and the proceedings of a conference organised by SCONUL is available (Corrall and Hathaway, 2000). Books published by UK authors include Andretta (2005), Webb and Powis (2004). These are both aimed at librarians who teach information literacy. The published proceedings of the IT and Information Literacy conference were also notable (Martin and Rader, 2003): this has now become the eLit conference, mentioned below.
The Journal of e-literacy (JELIT) (http://www.jelit.org/index.html) is a free refereed online journal that now includes papers from eLit conferences. The Journal of Information Literacy will commence in October 2006 as part of the new Information Literacy website (http://www.informationliteracy.co.uk/). Similarly it will have refereed articles and also a non-refreed section for shorter articles, review and opinion pieces. Articles about information literacy are published in numerous journals: notable are special issues devoted to information literacy in Library and information update and Italics. Library review is also a UK-based periodical which has a regular focus on information literacy.
Books, articles and special issues mentioned here are cited in the bibliography at the end of this report.
