Information literacy, social information and embodied learning

I have found reading my colleague Annemaree Lloyd's paper "Information literacy:different contexts, different concepts, different truths" (Journal of Librarianship and Information Science, 37 (2) June 2005) stimulating. There is a lot there that help me to put some ideas I have had about the digital information environment and digital literacy (as evoking a more sensory experience and an emotional as well as intellectual response) into some sort of theoretical context. I'm interested in the multiple narratives of the digital environment and of how individual forms of meaning (or ways of knowing I think Anne might say) can be contructed from it.

The upshot is I have more reading to do; on postmodernism, constructivism, digital media, digital culture. Foucault, Chomsky to come but for the time being I'm still on Roszak!
