Has anybody else read the following paper and have any comments about it? - I hold it up not only as an example of how not to do a literature review (somewhat ironic given the subject) but because it seems to empitomise the divisions between professionals who work in the field of information literacy and health. For example, there isn't a single paper from the Bulletin of the Medical Library Association I quote "The selected time period 1995-2001 can be critized for several reasons. However before 1995 the information literacy concept was most frequently used by librarians. Advances in hospital information systems and the use of electronic patient records have made the concept important for health care professionals" ! Information literacy - what is it about? Literature review of the concept and the context. Saranto K, Hovenga EJS.
