Abstract
The importance of the skill of source evaluation within information literacy (IL) has grown hugely in the last fifty years and now few aspects of IL receive greater attention. It was subject to little coverage in the early days but today a multitude of specialist appraisal tools have been devised to help users make assessments of the material they encounter, at a time when the information to which people are exposed differs more than ever in terms of its types, originators and calibre. Many of the evaluation frameworks, though, are variations on a theme. In the future, we may make progress by encouraging young people to develop their own mental models for appraising information, after they have explored disparate frameworks that have emerged from the ideas of writers who have taken particular interest in contrasting types of material.
期刊介绍：
JIL is an international, peer-reviewed journal that aims to investigate information literacy in all its forms to address the interests of diverse IL communities of practice. To this end it publishes articles from both established and new authors in this field. JIL welcomes contributions that push the boundaries of IL beyond the educational setting and examine this phenomenon as a continuum between those involved in its development and delivery and those benefiting from its provision. This journal provides immediate open access to its content on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge. The journal is published under the Gold Open Access model, because the CILIP Information Literacy Group believes that knowledge should be shared. It is therefore free and requires no subscription. In addition authors are not required to pay a fee to be published in JIL. The Journal of Information Literacy is published twice a year. Additional, special themed issues are also possible and the editor welcomes suggestions. JIL has an acceptance rate of 44% for articles submitted to the journal.
