There is a necessary balance between knowledge and knowing how to find
out - between having the key facts in your head, having the
understanding of how to use them, and having the skill to draw on extra
resources too. Information literacy is as important as traditional
reading literacy and it incorporates a wide range of skills which are
essential in the modern world. Many of the skills already feature in the
curriculum, though because they are not usually brought together, too
often there is no coherent approach to how they are learned. They are
relevant to every teacher and every pupil; they feature in every
curriculum subject; they are cross-curricular in every sense - yet
because they belong to everyone they are owned by no-one.
