Four empirical examples of document work \u2013 more specifically informational reading \u2013 recorded in Swedish primary classrooms in the 1960s are presented.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Findings<\/jats:title><jats:p>In the recordings, the reading style students use is similar to informational reading in contemporary educational settings: it is fragmentary, facts-oriented, and procedure-oriented. The practice of finding correct answers, rather than analysing and discussing the contents of a text seems to continue from lessons organised around print textbooks in the 1960s to the inquiry-based and digital teaching of today.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title><jats:p>The paper seeks to analyse document work and documentary practices by regarding \u201cinformation\u201d as a discursive construction in a particular era with material consequences in particular contexts, rather than as a theoretical and analytical concept. It also problematises the notion that new digital technologies for producing, organising, finding, using, and disseminating documents have drastically changed people\u2019s behaviours and practices in educational and other contexts.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/jd-11-2017-0156","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,6,6]],"date-time":"2018-06-06T10:24:14Z","timestamp":1528280654000},"page":"1042-1052","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["From informational reading to information literacy"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"74","author":[{"given":"Anna Hampson","family":"Lundh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mats","family":"Dolatkhah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Louise","family":"Limberg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"140","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,6,6]]},"reference":[{"issue":"2","key":"key2021041507441596500_ref001","first-page":"131","article-title":"Changing conditions for information use and learning in Swedish schools: a synthesis of research","volume":"11","year":"2012","journal-title":"Human IT"},{"issue":"2","key":"key2021041507441596500_ref002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"213","DOI":"10.1108\/00220410610653307","article-title":"The public sphere and discursive activities: information literacy as sociopolitical skills","volume":"62","year":"2006","journal-title":"Journal of Documentation"},{"issue":"1","key":"key2021041507441596500_ref003","article-title":"The front and backstage: pupils\u2019 information activities in secondary school","volume":"22","year":"2017","journal-title":"Information Research"},{"key":"key2021041507441596500_ref004","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"441","DOI":"10.1002\/aris.1440400118","article-title":"Information history","volume":"40","year":"2006","journal-title":"Annual Review of Information Science and Technology"},{"volume-title":"Didaktisk processanalys: presentation av syften, uppl\u00e4ggning, unders\u00f6kningsgrupper och m\u00e4tinstrument samt n\u00e5gra beskrivande data [Didactic process analysis: presentation of purposes, design, groups, measurement instruments and some descriptive data]","year":"1971","key":"key2021041507441596500_ref005"},{"key":"key2021041507441596500_ref006","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"343","DOI":"10.1002\/aris.1440370109","article-title":"The concept of information","volume":"37","year":"2003","journal-title":"Annual Review of Information Science and Technology"},{"volume-title":"Oversold and Underused: Computers in the Classroom","year":"2001","key":"key2021041507441596500_ref007"},{"volume-title":"The Modern Invention of Information: Discourse, History, and Power","year":"2001","key":"key2021041507441596500_ref008"},{"issue":"6","key":"key2021041507441596500_ref009","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"831","DOI":"10.1080\/0046760X.2016.1166268","article-title":"Information and experience: audiovisual observations of reading activities in Swedish comprehensive school classrooms 1967-1969","volume":"45","year":"2016","journal-title":"History of Education"},{"issue":"4","key":"key2021041507441596500_ref010","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"675","DOI":"10.1108\/00220411111145043","article-title":"Debating credibility: the shaping of information literacies in upper secondary school","volume":"67","year":"2011","journal-title":"Journal of Documentation"},{"volume-title":"Deflating Information: From Science Studies to Documentation","year":"2004","key":"key2021041507441596500_ref012"},{"issue":"3","key":"key2021041507441596500_ref011","first-page":"387","article-title":"Documentation redux: prolegomenon to (another) philosophy of information","volume":"52","year":"2004","journal-title":"Library Trends"},{"issue":"4","key":"key2021041507441596500_ref013","article-title":"Information literacy in the tension between school\u2019s discursive practice and students\u2019 self-directed learning","volume":"21","year":"2016","journal-title":"Information Research"},{"year":"2014","key":"key2021041507441596500_ref014","article-title":"A matter of facts?: linguistic tools in the context of information seeking and use in schools"},{"issue":"1","key":"key2021041507441596500_ref015","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"27","DOI":"10.1108\/EUM0000000007107","article-title":"Documents, memory institutions and information science","volume":"56","year":"2000","journal-title":"Journal of Documentation"},{"edition":"2nd ed.","volume-title":"Seeking Meaning: a Process Approach to Library and Information Services","year":"2004","key":"key2021041507441596500_ref016"},{"key":"key2021041507441596500_ref017","unstructured":"Limberg, L.
