Description: Examines the varying experience of information literacy amongst higher educators and proposes a relational model of information literacy as an alternative to the behavioural that dominates information literacy education and research. Looking into information users' conceptions of information literacy, this study provides a detailed picture of what people see information literacy as. This picture becomes the centrepiece of the relational information wheel.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 185-197) and index.
