Search Mastery as Critical Information Literacy: What LIS adds to the conversation

Speaker:
Dr. Ana Ndumu

Assistant Professor
University of Maryland
College of Information Studies

Abstract:
Critical Information Literacy (CIL) provides an orienting lens by which to theorize, teach, and apply search mastery. A response to normative, prescriptive approaches to information-seeking, CIL scrutinizes knowledge production and the information economy. Dr. Ndumu will explain connections between CIL and search mastery, and situate both within the broader Critical Librarianship or #CritLib movement.
