Literacy Across the Divide : Information Literacy as the Key to Student Transition

This book examines significant questions related to information literacy learning and student transition to higher education in Aotearoa New Zealand. It investigates important questions for student transition: what does it mean to be information literate in Aotearoa today? What could be the role of the library in our senior secondary schools and tertiary learning environments, and how effectively do we enable student transition to higher education in Aotearoa New Zealand?

Written by and for teachers, librarians, and researchers, and based on 5 years of research into academic and information literacy, and student transition, this edited volume provides valuable new information on literacy resources as well as new insights into information literacy learning, the role of libraries and librarians, student transition, and teacher-librarian partnerships.
