Libraries have a central role in information literacy delivery and development which is at the heart of
independent learning. This functional framework is intended to provide a clear and integrated
developmental structure for practitioners delivering information literacy at all levels. This will enable
librarians, information literacy practitioners, teachers and trainers to support learners as they progress
through levels of attainment. The framework is not however intended to be prescriptive or restrictive.
It allows for some variation in information literacy emphasis across courses and subjects within the
curriculum. It is not language specific and supports learning through the medium of Welsh and
English. This document is intended for application exclusively in the Welsh national context.
The document consists of: an overview of the project and explanation of the information literacy model used; an explanation of the relevant learning frameworks in operation in Wales; a framework of information literacy which spans educational levels, including expected
learning outcomes.
