“…With this, they demand the theoretical transformation of IL so that it addresses the ideologically and socially constructed nature of information (e.g. Kapitzke, 2003b;Mirza & Seale, 2017;Nicholson, 2016;Seale, 2013). This pertains to the criticism of reducing IL to (labour) market needs (Enright, 2013), problematic assumptions that the "adoption of information skills will automatically lead to favourable outcomes" (Tuominen et al, 2005, p. 333) (Nicholson, 2014;Street, 2003), including also better productivity and economic growth (Kapitzke, 2003b;Matusov & Julien, 2004), as well as to the criticism of the understanding that access to information will equip and empower individuals with the skills needed for successful work and citizenship (Doyle, 1994)-that is, of the generally perceived advantage of information itself, which idealises IL because it ignores the wider context (Hicks, 2018).…”
