Journal of Information Literacy

Journal of Information Literacy (JIL) is an international, peer-reviewed, academic journal that aims to investigate Information Literacy (IL) within a wide range of settings. Papers on any topic related to the practical, technological or philosophical issues raised by the attempt to increase information literacy throughout society are encouraged. JIL is published in electronic format only. The aim of JIL is to investigate and to make generalised observations on how Information Literacy impacts on organisations, systems and the individual. While recognising the firm foothold already established by IL in the Higher Education sector, the editorial board, seeks to consolidate and extend this to a wider educational audience. Furthermore the board welcomes ever-wider interpretations of IL that extend its theoretical interpretation and practical use beyond the educational arena and across national frontiers. Refereed papers (Max. 7000 words) can be either practical or theoretical in their approach. Practical papers can document current or recent work or ideas in progress. Theoretical papers should have an assured academic basis and an analytical approach. Each issue, in addition to refereed papers, contains other items such as, short response papers, commentaries, research proposals and reviews of relevant literature i.e. books, web sites, VLEs, etc. Conference and seminar reports should be discussed with the editors in advance of submission, although an invitation to submit does not in any way guarantee publication. JIL encourages contributions that fall outside the above scope provided they are considered highly innovative.
