CILIP has also recently been working on a definition of Information
Literacy (a term which implies necessary skills), and the definition is
intended to be accessible to all categories of user, at all levels, in all
communities.
The definition, with details of attendant skills and some discussion of
background, can be found at:
http://www.cilip.org.uk/professionalguidance/informationliteracy/definitio
n/
It is also discussed in CILIP's journal, Update:
Chris Armstrong et al. Defining Information Literacy for the UK. Library +
Information Update 4 (1-2) (January/February 2005) 22-25
Hope this is useful.
Chris
