SCONUL 7 Pillars of Information Literacy

Once in a while it's worth highlighting existing resources. There are links to the current version of the SCONUL 7 Pillars of Information Literacy, of the "lenses" that have been developed (e.g. Employability lens), an evaluation of the use of the model, and the original (1999) model at https://www.sconul.ac.uk/page/seven-pillars-of-information-literacy.
Also worth mentioning are:
- Dalton, M. (2013). Developing an evidence-based practice healthcare lens for the SCONUL Seven Pillars of Information Literacy model. Journal of Information Literacy, 7(1), 30-43. https://ojs.lboro.ac.uk/JIL/article/view/PRA-V7-I1-2013-3 (this isn't one of the "official" lens, so isn't mentioned on the page above) and
- Lockerbie, H. and Williams, D. (2019). Seven pillars and five minds: small business workplace information literacy. Journal of Documentation,75(5), 977-994. https://doi.org/10.1108/JD-09-2018-0151 - open access version here (an interesting recent application of the Pillars to a non-academic setting)
