  • About the author

Data visualization—making sense of the world through images that tell a story—has a history that parallels human existence. The strength of visualization lies in its ability to reveal truth out of information that may remain hidden in lines of text, large data sets, or complex ideas. The Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education presents complex threshold concepts, developed intentionally without prescriptive lists of skills and with flexible options for implementation, which can be explored and understood through visualization.

Envisioning the Framework offers a visual opportunity for thought, discovery, and sense-making of the Framework and its concepts. Seventeen chapters packed with full-color illustrations and tables explore topics including:

  • LibGuides creation through conceptual integration with the Framework
  • fostering interdisciplinary transference
  • the convergence of metaliteracy with the Framework
  • teaching multimodalities and data visualization
  • mapping a culturally responsive information literacy journal for international students

Chapters include content for credit-bearing information courses, one-shots, and teaching first-year students.

Twenty-first-century information literacy involves the metaliterate learner, reflects seismic changes in the duties and roles of teaching librarians, requires new partnerships with faculty and instructional designers, and emphasizes continuous assessment practices. Envisioning the Framework can help you use symbols and visuals for deeper understanding of the Framework, to map the Framework with teaching and learning objectives, and to tell a coherent story to students featuring the frames and the Framework.
