Within the area of information literacy it is increasingly emphasized that practitioners make use of research and that research is conducted on problems relevant to practice. From a wide perspective, this paper discusses and identifies in the information literacy literature three different strands relating to research, practice and policy-making for information literacy. On the basis of a small-scale bibliometric investigation of samples of literature representing the identified strands, it is concluded that interconnections between the strands are weak. The results of the bibliometric study are discussed in the light of previous research on the relationship between research and practice. It is proposed that the research-based discussion on research and practice would benefit from a more nuanced terminology and by abandoning the prevailing gap-metaphor.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0961000614559140","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,11,26]],"date-time":"2014-11-26T00:39:39Z","timestamp":1416962379000},"page":"313-321","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Connections between research and practice in the information literacy narrative: A mapping of the literature and some propositions"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"48","author":[{"given":"Ola","family":"Pilerot","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Bor\u00e5s, Sweden"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,7,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0961000614559140","volume-title":"Information Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education","author":"Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL)","year":"2000"},{"key":"bibr2-0961000614559140","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0165551508089717"},{"key":"bibr3-0961000614559140","volume-title":"The Seven Faces of Information Literacy","author":"Bruce C","year":"1997"},{"key":"bibr4-0961000614559140","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/(SICI)1097-4571(1999)50:12<1127::AID-ASI16>3.0.CO;2-5"},{"key":"bibr5-0961000614559140","first-page":"1790","volume-title":"Encyclopedia of Library and Information Sciences","author":"Dalrymple PW","year":"2011","edition":"3"},{"key":"bibr6-0961000614559140","unstructured":"EBLIP8 Eighth International Evidence Based Library and Information Practice Conference (2014).
