Definitions

“When librarians….hear the phrase “scholarly communication,” they likely think of topics such as peer review, the journal “crisis,” open access,

impact factors, licensing, copyright, authors’ rights, and institutional repositories.  On the surface, these topics might seem far removed from

what librarians think of as tenets of information literacy instruction…”  

“At the heart of this movement is the belief that helping students become more information literate inevitably means teaching students about the

social, economic, and political forces at work in the creation, evaluation, and interpretation of information.”  (ACRL IL Standard #5)

  Thus academic information literacy sits on the bedrock of scholarly

communication—it is completely based on how scholars create, share, and vet new knowledge, as well as their specific rhetorical and citation traditions.   Duckett, Kim & Warren, Scott. (2013).
