New IFLA Media and Information Literacy Recommendations

In cooperation with UNESCO’s Information for All Programme (IFAP), the IFLA Information Literacy Section drafted new Media and Information Literacy Recommendations which are now available in several languages. In December 2011 these recommendations were formally endorsed by the IFLA Governing Board. The recommendations will also be a topic at the international conference of Media and Information Literacy for Knowledge Societies on 24-28 June 2012 in Moscow.
