Information Literacy Models

There are many information literacy models that have been developed over the years. Some have stood the test of time and others have been replaced or updated as digital technologies and the associated skills to master them have become interwoven into these frameworks.
​Many schools are directed to follow a particular model (e.g. guided inquiry) while others are left to source / create their own. For those who have to generate a framework of their own the following models may be helpful. Wherever possible the chosen framework should be linked to the relevant curriculum documents - see A new curriculum for information literacy below.

National Information Literacy Framework (Wales)
​
Welsh Libraries have developed an Information Literacy Framework for Wales. The framework maps learning and skills from Entry Level 1 up to Doctoral level, and links to the Credit and Qualifications Framework for Wales.
The Welsh Information Literacy Project website includes case studies and an overview of how IL relates to activities in schools, workplaces, academic libraries, etc.

Mapping Information Literacy Skills to the Curriculum 
A number of frameworks are now identifying the importance of linking the skills and competencies they espouse to a relevant curriculum framework.
The following document from ANCIL provides strategies for using the curriculum to map information literacy skills.

Examples of Models
​The following are other prominent models and frameworks you may wish to explore:
  • Big6: An Information Problem-solving Process. Mike Eisenberg’s and Bob Berkowitz’s well known IL model.
  • PLUS Information Skills Model developed by James Herring
  • Six Frames for Information Literacy Education developed by Christine Bruce.​
