The article "Information and Digital Literacies: A Review of Concepts" by David Bawden, published in the Journal of Documentation in 2001, provides a comprehensive review of the concepts of information literacy and digital literacy. The paper begins by defining literacy and then explores various forms of literacy, including skill-based literacies such as library literacy, media literacy, and computer literacy. It discusses the evolution of these concepts and their relationship to more advanced forms of literacy like information literacy and digital literacy. The author highlights the importance of context in understanding literacy, noting that literacy is a relative concept that varies across different cultures and contexts. The article also addresses the challenges in measuring literacy and the need for a broader perspective beyond simple reading and writing skills. Information literacy is defined as the ability to access, evaluate, and use information from a variety of sources, with a focus on problem-solving and decision-making. The concept has evolved to include a wide range of skills, knowledge, and attitudes, and is seen as essential for effective functioning in an information-rich society. The article emphasizes the link between information literacy and learning, advocating for its integration into formal education to foster lifelong learning and critical thinking. The paper concludes by discussing the American Library Association's (ALA) response to the concept of information literacy, which emphasizes its role in lifelong learning and professional and civic responsibilities. The ALA's definition of information literacy includes a broad range of information resources, from traditional library sources to digital and multimedia resources.The article "Information and Digital Literacies: A Review of Concepts" by David Bawden, published in the Journal of Documentation in 2001, provides a comprehensive review of the concepts of information literacy and digital literacy.
