There is a call for chapter proposals for a book to be published by ACRL: deadline 15 January 2025. The book is Teaching Information Literacy for Everyday Life, edited by Anne Diekema and Maralee Carlin (Southern Utah University, USA).
"What are some of the everyday information literacy skills and topics that academic librarians are teaching their students to prepare them for everyday life? What are librarians doing to ensure the transfer of students’ academic information literacy skills to real-life situations? This edited volume will contain contributions from authors on everyday information literacy instruction."
"The book is tentatively organized in four parts, each dealing with a different facet of everyday information literacy:
"1) Information literacy in personal lives (Chapters in this section will consider information literacy in the personal realm and how to prepare students to operate effectively in information environments that pertain to aspects of their personal lives such as health, recreation, consumption of goods and services, etc.),
"2) Information literacy in the social environment, (Chapters in this section relate to the information used in the social realm and how to make students aware of the nuances of information creation, dissemination, consumption, and sharing in social environments, and how it impacts social interactions, relationships, and society at large.)
"3) Information literacy in the workplace, (Chapters in this section will discuss teaching information practices essential to the information-driven professional environments students will find themselves in after graduation.
)
"4) Information literacy in education (Chapters in this section will focus on teaching and promoting information literacy in educational contexts beyond the narrow focus of academic information literacy in preparation for the information society beyond academia.).
"Each chapter will include a lesson plan and/or learning activity to guide and inspire librarians to expand information literacy instruction into the realm of daily life."
Note that I think it is about teaching in a university setting, not outside this setting.
