  • The purpose of this study is to explore the concept, contents, and curriculum of MIL(Media and Information Literacy) proposed by UNESCO from the perspective of Library and Information Science to obtain the basic information necessary for the revision of the Library and Information Life curriculum and to derive implications. As a result of the analysis, UNESCO used the term MIL to highlight the characteristics and importance of information literacy in media education. The information literacy and library literacy were key factors in forming the concept and curriculum of MIL. UNESCO also presented 'information literacy and library skills' as essential areas of the MIL curriculum, as well as core competencies and achievement criteria. In addition, the MIL curriculum actively embraces information literacy and library literacy, with the five laws of MIL based on the five laws of library science.

  • There is an explosion of talk about crucial, new literacies for the 21st Century, for example critical thinking, problem-solving, media literacy, technology literacy, digital literacy, visual literacy. The other day, there was even an article about "gaming literacy!" How does one make sense of it all? The common factor in all these literacies is "information" - information seeking, information use, information processing, information presentation, and information evaluation. And, these "information" elements come together in information literacy: the ability to engage in effective and efficient information problem-solving. Information literacy is the overarching and unifying literacy, and all libraries have a unique and essential role to play in delivering meaningful information literacy programs to people of all ages. In this keynote paper and address, Professor and Dean Emeritus Mike Eisenberg will define the concept and structure of library-based information literacy programs and offer strategies for developing and implementing information literacy programs that are comprehensive(reaching all users), predictable (consistent over time), and accountable(measured and reported).

  • This study aimed to compare and analyze the content structures of the information literacy curriculum 'Library and Information Life' and domestic and international digital literacy curricula to discuss the scope of digital literacy integration based on information literacy. Common areas and learning elements were extracted from domestic and international digital literacy curricula and mapped against the 'Library and Information Life' curriculum. Results showed that while the middle school curriculum aligned in information literacy, creation and sharing, and digital ethics, 'Library and Information Life' did not mention ICT utilization, communication, and collaboration competencies. The high school 'Media and Information Life' curriculum also addressed ICT utilization, communication, and collaboration competencies in a limited manner. This study is significant in proposing a concrete discussion on the scope of digital literacy integration based on information literacy. The findings can serve as foundational data for determining the scope of digital literacy application when revising the 'Library and Information Life' curriculum in the future.
