Good IL instruction supports education of the whole person, develops new modes of thinking, and defines scholars' relationships to their disciplines, their institution, and their communities. In short, good information literacy instruction draws from the ideals of the Renaissance and often results in a change of perspective after discovering deeper meanings in materials, concepts, and processes.13 pagesen-USInformation LiteracyFrameworkRenaissance ArtTeachingInstruction MethodsText
