English abstract

Welcome to the first issue of JIL 2010 (Vol.4) which continues the information literacy (IL) debate presented in the 2009 volume of this journal. As we have seen, the collection of articles in the first issue of Volume 3 bridges the gap between theoretical and practical constructs of information literacy, thereby establishing a valid premise for the investigation of this phenomenon, and the primary purpose of JIL. On the other hand, the collection published in the second issue of Volume 3, describes the ‘multifaceted nature’ of information literacy, thereby acknowledging that the scope of this investigation is necessarily a wide-ranging one. The current issue, as the title of this editorial indicates, examines learner-centred information literacy initiatives within the HE context. The first three papers are concerned with information literacy education (ILE) associated with the development of problem-solving and research competences within specific discipline-based contexts, while the remaining two papers, from LILAC, reflect innovative ways of providing timely support to the learners by employing mobile and video technologies.
