‘Traditional or critical’?: Reflections on information literacy in the Philippines

Abstract

Ever since the coining of the term ‘information literacy’ in 1974, various conceptions, models, frameworks, and measures have been crafted in its discourse. This article reflects on how contemporary global information literacy conceptions, initiatives, and trends influence information literacy education and practice in the Philippines and proposes a reframing of information literacy practices in order to be more responsive to the evolving information landscape.
