I and my ILIAD (Information Literacy is a Discipline) colleagues have put out a call for short (800-1000 word) papers for a special issue Information Literacy: A Discipline for the Future to appear in the ASIST (Association for Information Science & Technology) online magazine Information Matters. In this special issue of Information Matters we will explore how this discipline can develop in the future, and for the future.
The deadline for submissions is 8 June 2026.
My co-editors for this issue are: Professor John Budd, University of Missouri, United States; Dr. Karen Kaufmann, School of Information, University of South Florida, United States; Bill Johnston, Independent scholar, Scotland; Professor Clarence Maybee, Purdue University Libraries and School of Information Studies, United States.
We welcome contributions on topics such as:
- What issues should be prioritised in the research agenda for IL?
- Who can be involved in developing the discipline of IL?
- What populations would you target as learners in new information literacy programmes?
- How can the discipline of IL address specific current and future global challenges?
- What are the priorities for IL in different countries or regions of the world?
- How can IL support human rights and social justice?
The full call, and instructions for submission are at https://informationmatters.org/cfp-special-issue-on-information-literacy-a-discipline-for-the-future/ - email me (s.webber@sheffield.ac.uk) if you have any questions.
