Global Information Literacy


Special issue call for papers from Global Knowledge, Memory and Communication

Guest editor: Nina Clements, Librarian and Information Literacy Coordinator at California State University-Channel Islands

Global Knowledge, Memory and Communication is an inter- and cross- disciplinary double-blind peer reviewed journal. It publishes contemporary research and practice which explores the way that people and organisations interact in the digital information environment. It is concerned with innovation and developments in digital information, as they relate to global knowledge, communication and world memory.  It covers the creation, management, dissemination and use of the full range of information objects.

In 2017, The Association of College & Research Libraries published a white paper sharing international perspectives on information literacy entitled, “Fostering a Dialogue for International Understanding”. This themed issue wants expand on the unique challenges and opportunities for “Global Information Literacy” and will explore the extent to which there is global acceptance and a shared understanding of the term information literacy. Proposals are requested that explore the role of information literacy frameworks within a specific country and an assessment of how these frameworks foster a dialogue for international understanding.
