They identify limitations in taking an approach to information literacy which assumes that it can be boiled down to a list of skills. Alternative conceptions of information literacy are described. Previous research has identified a lack of information on how students experience and define information literacy. The authors describe the student response to a one-semester credit-bearing class in information literacy, taken by business students at the University of Strathclyde, and relate it to two models of information literacy. They go on to discuss two issues in the light of previous developments and their own research: appropriate pedagogic methods for educating for information literacy and information literacy as a discipline in its own right. They conclude by identifying further areas for research and by recommending that information scientists should lead the way in defining this growing area. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/016555150002600602","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2004,12,18]],"date-time":"2004-12-18T01:36:35Z","timestamp":1103333795000},"page":"381-397","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":182,"title":["Conceptions of information literacy: new perspectives and implications"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"26","author":[{"given":"Sheila","family":"Webber","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Sheffield, UK,"}]},{"given":"Bill","family":"Johnston","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, Scotland, UK"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2000,12,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"atypb1","volume-title":"The Seven Faces of Information Literacy","author":"C.
