In 2011, the SCONUL Seven Pillars of Information Literacy model has been updated and expanded. While the basic principles underpinning the original Seven Pillars model, first published in 1999, remain valid, we now live in a very different information world and the new model reflects more clearly the range of different terminologies and concepts which we now understand as Information Literacy.
This paper provides a basic conceptual framework for measuring
information literacy and is designed to serve as a reference to facilitate
the elaboration of information literacy indicators.
