Information literacy as educative dimension of the lrc: convergence between information services and teaching innovation

Abstract

One of the most crucial aspects in the analysis of the educational impact of Cyberspace is the relevance of competencies in education and their formative social outreach. It is the fundamental base for the development of information literacy, which is approached in this paper from its conceptual, regulatory and methodological perspective. The educational dimension of information literacy is considered here as a competency in the evaluation of digital learning resources provided with models of its own that will be able to allow students to efficiently understand and generate knowledge from digital reading, hypermedia writing and editing. The impact of information literacy is, then, proved to be efficient by means of appropriate digital resources (learning objects and blogs, among others) in their natural setting, the CRAI (Learning Resources Centers), whose instruments, project and formative trends are also tackled in this paper.
