Information literacy is a concept which is well established in theory while in practice it is only slowly breaking ground in accordance with the understanding of its significance and the possibilities of its realisation. Based on fundamental works, the characteristics of information literacy, its cognitive foundations and significance for individuals as well as for society, are argumented in the article. The analyzed content of this concept is connected with the content of a librarian’s knowledge and activities. From this derive the tasks of a library and the incentive for designing common general recommendations for an information literacy programme. This could also be used as a starting point for defining the scope and aim of three levels of information literacy in which all the various types of libraries would participate by helping users to master the information process, successfully orient themselves in the information world and find the relevant information they are searching for.Date

The Evolution of Information Governance at IntelTallon, Paul; Short, James; Harkins, Malcolm (AIS Electronic Library (AISeL), 2013-12-01)This article describes the decade-long evolution of information governance at Intel against a background of rapid increases in data volumes. Intel's initial governance model sought to contain risk by restricting access to key information resources. The model evolved to a Protect-to-Enable approach that balanced the need to protect data with the need to make data more accessible and available for decision making. The information governance lessons learned from Intel's experience can be applied by other organizations.Click here for free 2-page executive summary (pdf)

Proactive TransparencyDarbishire, Helen (2010-09-14)This paper identifies four primary
 drivers of proactive disclosure throughout history. The
 first is the need to inform the public about laws and
 decisions and the public's right to be informed, to
 know their rights and obligations. The second is the
 public's demand for the information needed to hold
 governments accountable both at and between elections. The
 third is the demand for information in order to participate
 actively in decision-making. The fourth is the provision to
 the public of information needed to access government
 services, which has expanded significantly in the past
 decade with growth of electronic access to services or
 'e-government.' This paper attempts to advance the
 debate around that question by analyzing the multiple
 proactive disclosure provisions in national law and
 international treaties in order to identify the emerging
 global consensus on the classes of information which should
 be included in a proactive disclosure regime. The paper
 examines the practical challenges related to the
 implementation of proactive disclosure regimes and some of
 the lessons learned from which principles for making
 proactive disclosure work in practice can be derived. It
 concludes by identifying some future challenges and areas
 where additional research is needed.
