The Information Literacy User’s Guide : An Open, Online Textbook
Good researchers have a host of tools at their disposal that make navigating today’s complex information ecosystem much more manageable. Gaining the knowledge, abilities, and
self-reflection necessary to be a good researcher helps not only in academic settings, but is
invaluable in any career, and throughout one’s life. The Information Literacy User’s Guide will
start you on this route to success.
The Information Literacy User’s Guide is based on two current models in information literacy:
The 2011 version of The Seven Pillars Model, developed by the Society of College, National
and University Libraries in the United Kingdom1
and the conception of information literacy as a metaliteracy, a model developed by one of this book’s authors in conjunction with
Thomas Mackey, Dean of the Center for Distance Learning at SUNY Empire State College.2
These core foundations ensure that the material will be relevant to today’s students.
