Facet Publishing have a new book out: Interpret, understand and teach the ACRL’s new Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education by Joanna M. Buckhardt.
This fact prompted me to look at the framework to see what it is. http://www.ala.org/acrl/standards/ilframework. It has a nice section about how authority is a construction. I liked this as it is a quite radical concept. It brought to mind all the debates about how effective peer review processes really are if reviewers just looks at what institution people come from and evaluate the work this way. Also, having worked in an institution for a long time you notice that Universities are only really interested in reading things by other members of that institution or their friends. Learning is a peer activity, yes, but there should be room for open mindedness and learners should be outward looking to evaluate what is going on in the world beyond. And that is only one aspect of the framework.
