The annual annotated bibliography of articles about information literacy has been published (there is a note that when it was first published at the end of 2023 some content was missed out and this has now been restored). This is a priced publication. 340 items were identified "from the EBSCO platform for Library, Information Science and Technology Abstracts (LISTA), Education Resources Information Center (ERIC), Elsevier SCOPUS and ProQuest Dissertations and Theses. Sources selected were published in 2022 and included the terms “information literacy,” “library instruction,” or “information fluency” in the title, subject terms, or author supplied keywords."
On a personal note, the authors discuss in their introduction how they debated whether to extend the search terms, and they note that "Johnston and Webber [that's me!] (2005) led the way in proposing information literacy as a soft discipline nearly 20 years ago and the debate in our field continues;most recently at the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) Conference with a panel entitled, “Casting a New Conversation: Recognizing Information Literacy as a Discipline” (Maybee et al., 2023)."
