Handbook for Information Literacy Teaching

"The cover illustration and its insert companion were inspired by Stanley Kubrick’s 1968 film
2001: A Space Odyssey.The moment when prehistoric man discovered the use of simple
tools was a milestone in the history of civilisation.The ability to use information as a survival
tool has had an equally profound impact.The pairing of these images conveys a sense of the
evolution and progress of the human race, from a manual to an intellectual dexterity; they
emphasise the liberating effects of information on the human spirit.We believe that these
images encapsulate many of the principles of information literacy described in this
Handbook; they motivate, inspire and demand attention.We hope that you agree."
