Reading postmodern texts certainly situates readers in roles different from the ones we have been used to. Recently, postmodern metafiction forms a significant body of children's literature that is intended to challenge and transform the conventions of books in the digital age. While many studies have been done as to how child readers have capabilities to appreciate and interpret postmodern metafiction picture books, few studies on teachers and preservice teachers' reactions are not readily available. The role of teachers and preservice teachers are crucial for child readers to have access to affluent reading resources. This study discusses how preservice teachers read and respond to postmodern metafiction picture books using a deconstructive approach by means of binary opposites. Data was collected with 14 preservice teachers as to their likes/dislikes, reading levels, and reading paths about postmodern metafiction picture books. Expected pedagogical implications for literacy and language education were requested to address in their reading diaries and response papers. With their likes/ dislikes, since binary opposites always imply the hierarchy of power and value, the likes is apparently more valued and appreciated over their dislikes. This differentiated values are discussed in more detail with three recurring themes-Education, Morals and Behavior, and Tradition. With reading levels, there seems to be a gap existing between the authors' implied reader and literary critics' and the preservice teachers' ideal readers for the postmodern metafiction picture books. Although many studies have already revealed young readers' capability of appreciating postmodern metafiction, it depends a lot more on the teachers and preservice teachers whether children's right to have access to affluent literacy resources is respected or not. Preservice teachers' awareness of the potential of postmodern metafiction will work as an initial step to bring and realize the new reading path and new literacies in classrooms. By challenging metanarratives of children's literature, preservice teachers' readings of postmodern picture books reveals potentials to raise different reading paths and develop new literacies and other educational implications.

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).

Purpose: Motivated by the fact that Malaysians fish consumption patterns and preferences have raised sustainability concerns, this study aims to understand the key entry points to promote sustainable consumption and increased uptake of sustainably sourced fish among Malaysian consumers. This is achieved by exploring the individual determinants of Malaysian consumers' fish purchasing behaviors and their subjective and objective knowledge of fish. Research design, data, and methodology: A survey was conducted using interviewled questionnaire on 250 consumers in selected Malaysian populations recruited via street-intercept random sampling. Results: Findings confirmed the homogeneous societal culture of fish consumption amongst Malaysians. Females and consumers with advanced degree are found to be potentially effective primary targets of sustainable consumption interventions. Future interventions should consider the solutions to the low health and sustainability literacies among Malaysian consumers, and limited availability, accessibility, and affordability of sustainable options in Malaysia. Conclusion: The study findings provide new insights for the multisectoral stakeholders in the region working on promoting sustainable fish consumption and sustainable fisheries in general.

조직의 가치는 구성원의 신뢰를 형성하고 참여를 활성화한다. 따라서 전통적인 도서관 가치인 접근성과 지원 이외에 학교도서관의 새로운 핵심 가치를 찾는 활동이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 국제적인 학교도서관 기준의 사명과 비전의 중심 단어를 분석하고 교육, 협동, 접근성, 문화적 소양, 민주시민 등 5개 영역의 핵심 가치를 도출하였다. 그리고 미국, 호주, 영국, 캐나다 학교도서관 기준의 사명과 비전을 분석한 결과 공통적으로 평생학습능력과 물리적 접근성 그리고 사회적 책임감을 강조하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 특히 최근에 학교도서관 기준을 개정한 영국과 미국은 정보공학기술과 다중 정보활용능력 그리고 통합 정보활용교육과정 운영을 강조하고 있다. 궁극적으로 이러한 핵심 가치는 국내 학교도서관의 사명과 비전을 수립할 때 방향 설정과 기초 자료로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 보인다.

본 논문은 문헌정보학계와 실제 공공도서관 서비스에서의 리터러시 개념의 사용 양태를 알아보고, 이를 바탕으로 새로운 리터러시 개념을 제안하고자 하였다. 문헌연구, 계량서지적 분석, 사례연구의 결과에 기초하여 본 논문에서는 '특정 주제나 상황을 이해하고, 해당 주제와 상황에서 직면하는 문제를 해결하기 위해 매체나 정보, 지식을 활용할 수 있는 종합적인 능력'을 '리터러시'의 개념으로, 그리고 이러한 능력을 길러주기 위해 공공도서관에서 이루어지는 서비스나 프로그램을 '리터러시 서비스'로 정의하였다. 더불어 실제 공공도서관 현장에서 적용할 수 있는 리터러시 서비스를 조기 리터러시 서비스, 성인 리터러시 서비스, 디지털 리터러시 서비스, 정보 리터러시 서비스의 4가지로 구분하여 제안하였다.
