The purpose of this Bachelor?s thesis is to examine university librarians? perceptions of Information Literacy, of students? Information Literacy and of education in Information Literacy. The focus is on how they perceive the students? Information Literacy development during their university studies. Also of interest in this study is how librarians think that their teaching in Information Literacy should be included in the students? other courses. Three librarians at a Swedish university library were interviewed using qualitative interviews.

The purpose of this thesis is to examine the benefit of Information Literacy instruction in two student groups at Kristianstad University, in relation to development of critical Information Literacy and within the boundaries of the educational goals. This study takes on a critical Information Literacy perspective that combines critical pedagogy and standards for Information Literacy in higher education. Two methods have been used for data collection: interviews and questionnaires. According to the results of the study the Information Literacy instruction provided by the Kristianstad University Library is important and useful for the students in their academic studies. It also becomes clear that the Information Literacy differs between the two groups as a consequence of the varying Information Literacy instruction received by the two groups.

This master thesis investigates the user education. Christine Bruce has presented a theory of Information Literacy in her research which has resulted in seven different aspects of Information Literacy. In this study I wanted to investigate what aspects there were and what they looked like in a practical educational situation. The methods used for this study were observation and a questionnaire. I analysed the observations by using Bruces aspects of Information Literacy to group the observed activities into the different aspects.

Our society has become increasingly digitized, and all around us information flows constantly. Knowledge about valuing different sources of information, and not least the information itself, are becoming increasingly important. Media and information have come to play a big role in our society, and knowledge of media and Information Literacy becomes important to learn in school. High school students are at the beginning of their adult lives as educated citizens.In this study, we measured high school students experience of media and Information Literacy, during their three years in high school. Students answered a questionnaire, with questions based upon theoretical concepts in media and Information Literacy.

The purpose of this thesis was to investigate on what perspective or perspectives university teachers and librarians at a medium-sized university in Sweden base their view on Information Literacy. More specifically, how do the respondents view their own Information Literacy and what opinions they have of their students? Information Literacy as professionals. Three perspectives are used to interpret the results, the sociocultural perspective, the phenomenographical perspective and the behavioristic perspective.The method used is semi structured interviews with three university teachers and three librarians.Both librarians and teachers emphasize the importance of Information Literacy, for themselves as well as for students. The Information Literacy of the librarians involves being well acquainted with the subjects of the students.

The aim of this study is to examine how teachers and school librarians view the concept of Information Literacy in relation to their students, and to find factors that affect their undertakings to make their students information literate. In order to accomplish this, qualitative interviews have been carried out with teachers and school librarians at four Swedish junior high schools. The theoretical framework of this study is the seven faces of Information Literacy developed by Christine Bruce. The empirical material has been analysed firstly by finding themes that are of importance for the work with Information Literacy, and secondly by placing the interviewees? commentaries on Information Literacy in Bruce´s seven faces of Information Literacy.

The aim of this Bachelor thesis is to examine and understand how teachers of younger children teach Information Literacy and also what part the school library and the school librarian take in this process.I have, in the study, used parts of Limberg & Folkesson´s IDOL project as my theoretical framework and the material was collected through qualitative interviews with four teachers. My result of this study indicates that many teachers have a vague idea of what Information Literacy is. My study also indicates that teachers only teach Information Literacy occasionally. This despite the new curriculum (Lgr11) which clearly indicates that Information Literacy is a priority. Some of the teachers express an opinion that the students, for example; in their source critical ability, develop this skill with age.

This analysis is about the fourth basic competence and how you can define it, what it includes and if it is possible to find it in the new curriculum for the Swedish high school; Gymnasiereformen -07. The analysis was focused on the following subjects; Mathematics, Social science and Swedish. The aim with this analysis has been to create a summary in the field of Information Literacy and to define the fourth basic competence. The analysis were focused on and delimited by the following conceptions; Information Literacy, digital competence and the information search process. The sources of information has primarily been taken from the field of Information Literacy and statements from professionals in the fields of Information Literacy and education.

This essay elucidates upper secondary students? literacy practices, (literacy events, literacy competencies and literacy culture) during a typical day, with focus on the daily literacy practices. A literacy ethnographic study conducted in the environment which participants naturally are, at home, at school and in leisure. The study is inspired of a project, Skriftbruk i arbetslivet, ´Literacy Practices in Working Life´, that conducted by Anna-Malin Karlsson, Per Ledin and Olle Josephson, in collaboration with Vetenskapsrådet ´Science Council´(2002-2004).The result of this study shows that students from professional preparing programs not use such literacy competencies that been tested in traditionally reading comprehension test, particularly much. However, do they read a lot during the literacy practices day by television, computer and mobile phone.

The aim of my ?two years master thesis? was to examine school administrators perceptions about important Information Literacy skills that the students should be able to control, perceptions about what role the teachers and the librarians have in teaching students Information Literacy and perceptions about the collaboration between these groups. My questions have been: Have the school administrators reflected upon the conception of Information Literacy? What conceptions do school administrators have about important Information Literacy skills that the students should be able to control? What role do they consider the teachers and the librarians to have in making all students information literate? How do they consider the collaboration between the teachers and the librarians work? What role do they consider themselves to have on a management level to make all students? information literate? I used a phenomenographical method and carried out six qualitative interviews with school administrators from five senior high schools in the municipality of Gävle. Both public schools and independent schools were included in the study. Most of the school administrators considered Information Literacy to be the same as criticism of sources, which they also considered as one of the most important Information Literacy skills.

User education is an important aspect of university libraries' service to its users. This Masters' Thesis is about online user education. The aim of this study is to analyse five Swedish online user courses in relation to Information Literacy and learning theory. The web-sites were explored through textual analyses to find how concepts of Information Literacy and learning theory are expressed. The theoretical framework is based on Carol C Kuhlthau's three levels of user education, Paul Ramsden's three theories of teaching in higher education and Christine Bruce's different aspects of Information Literacy.

The main purpose of this thesis is to examine upper secondary school teachers? views of their students? information seeking practices and their perspectives on consider the concept of information literary. The theoretical framework consists of a sociocultural perspective and the empirical material has been collected through interviews with six upper secondary school teachers. The material is analyzed phenomenographically and revealed three practices. Social science teachers consider the library and librarian to be valuable resources for students? information seeking, particularly in view of information overload in society today.

This study is a comparative study of the occurrence and function of Information Literacy in the curricula of the Swedish and Bavarian Gymnasium and investigates the occurrence of the term ?Information Literacy? and shows through what other linguistic means the notion of Information Literacy is expressed in the curricula. The study also wishes to analyze how the notion of Information Literacy manifests itself in the different school systems. Relevant textual passages of both curricula are compared to each other through the theoretic lens of Bruce?s phenomenographic model of Information Literacy.
