Abstract

PurposeThe purpose of this second study into information literacy practice during the COVID-19 pandemic is to identify the conditions that influence the emergence of information literacy as a safeguarding practice.Design/methodology/approachThe qualitative research design comprised one to one in-depth interviews conducted virtually during the UK's second and third lockdown phase between November 2020 and February 2021. Data were coded and analysed by the researchers using constant comparative techniques.FindingsContinual exposure to information creates the “noisy” conditions that lead to saturation and the potential for “information pathologies” to act as a form of resistance. Participants alter their information practices by actively avoiding and resisting formal and informal sources of information. These reactive activities have implications for standard information literacy empowerment discourses.Research limitations/implicationsThe paper is limited to the UK context.Practical implicationsFindings will be useful for librarians and researchers who are interested in the theorisation of information literacy as well as public health and information professionals tasked with designing long-term health promotion strategies.Social implicationsThis paper contributes to our understandings of the role that information literacy practices play within ongoing and long-term crises.Originality/valueThis paper develops research into the role of information literacy practice in times of crises and extends understanding related to the concept of empowerment, which forms a central idea within information literacy discourse.

饱和、加速和信息病理:影响covid -19环境下信息素养保障实践出现的条件
第二项关于COVID-19大流行期间信息素养实践的研究的目的是确定影响信息素养作为一种保障实践出现的条件。设计/方法/方法定性研究设计包括在2020年11月至2021年2月英国第二和第三次封锁阶段进行的一对一深度访谈。研究人员使用持续的比较技术对数据进行编码和分析。持续的信息暴露创造了“嘈杂”的条件,导致饱和和潜在的“信息病态”,作为一种抵抗形式。参与者通过积极避免和抵制正式和非正式的信息来源来改变他们的信息实践。这些反应性活动对标准的信息素养赋权话语具有启示意义。研究局限性/意义本文仅限于英国的背景。研究结果将有助于对信息素养理论化感兴趣的图书馆员和研究人员,以及负责设计长期健康促进战略的公共卫生和信息专业人员。社会意义本文有助于我们理解信息素养实践在持续和长期危机中所起的作用。原创性/价值本文对危机时期信息素养实践的作用进行了研究,并扩展了与赋权概念相关的理解,这在信息素养话语中形成了一个中心思想。
