Dr Ellie Abdi (Curtin University, Australia) gives the second iSchools Community Keynote free online on 15 July 2026, 19.00 Australian Eastern Standard Time; 05.00 US EST; 10.00 UK BST; 17.00 China Standard Time with the title From Information Literacy to Gen-AI Literacy: Continuity or Change?
"Technologically enabled information environments have continually evolved, from computers to the internet to social media, each reshaping how people encounter, interpret, and participate in information ecosystems. Across these transitions, information literacy has remained a central capability, supporting effective and meaningful engagement with information despite changing tools and platforms. This keynote explores whether this pattern continues in AI-generated information environments, and considers whether Gen-AI literacy should be understood as a distinct literacy domain or as a contemporary expression of information literacy."
