[ecrea] two new texts on media and information literacy

Thu Apr 30 21:22:29 GMT 2009



Dear colleagues,
with apologies for blatant self promotion and cross posting  I would
like to draw attention to two new texts on  media and information
literacy:

Issues in Information and Media Literacy: Criticism, History and Policy
(ISBN:1932886117, 9781932886115)

Issues in  Information and Media Literacy: Education, Practice and
Pedagogy (ISBN: 1932886125, 9781932886122)

Both texts are edited by Marcus Leaning and published by the Informing
Science Press.

The books chart the dynamic and fast expanding field of media and
information literacy. As the chapters in these volumes  show,
information and media literacy present new and demanding challenges to
policy makers, education managers, teachers and educational
practitioners and perhaps above all, students.  International in scope
the books examine a broad range of critical and practical concerns of
developing information and media literacy.

The tables of contents are as follows:
