Information literacy = TOOLS to consider information that becomes, or TRANSFORMS into knowledge and understanding.

Giving students the tools to access and disseminate information in a way that opens them to knew ideas, modes of thinking, experiences etc

Some of the characteristics of threshold concepts are aligned with characteristics of transformative learning...with IL, we're often not talking just about skills but how we perceive the info landscape and our relationship to it.

# data[].attributes.body
While information literacy concepts are probably themselves transformative, I think information literacy might be more useful thinking of a way of empowering students to engage in learning that might be transformative for them.

Transformative info lit & teaching info lit

# data[].attributes.body
For some students, just learning how to string together search terms is transformative; for others, learning about how many resources are in their reach can be transformative.

I think if we do too much "let me show you" rather than "here, you try," we lose some of the tranformative power of info lit.

As a school librarian, I taught a media literacy class that was an elective. I received feedback from students and administrators who evaluated me that it was not a fluff class, but one that every student should take.

Information literacy can support learners in being more persistent and curious when finding information. When students learn about the information landscape, they may discover that it's hard to find what you need when you're asking questions that don't have a clear answer.

Encouraging students, and modeling, approaching other students' perspectives with curiosity and willingness to "try out" the perspective.

TLT Reflective Inquiry & IL Critical Inquiry students realize that evaluation of various information resources require an intentional approach in determining which resources can either support or challenge their perspective/approach to finding information. In the beginning, they would come to class already having their argument or thesis developed. When they are unable to find information, they realize that in addition to their prior knowledge of topic, they need to engage (Scholarship as a Conversation) what scholars, experts, researchers, academics have articulated. This continues to be an "aha" learning moment for our newest undergraduate scholars.
