This book reviews the role of information literacy (IL) in developing employability skills, personal health management and informal learning from a variety of areas including: information policy issues, information usage and training needs and skills development. Early years education and the role of IL in relevant organisations, including government departments, skills agencies, and professional bodies (such as the Confederation of British Industry (CBI)) will also be considered. With a UK focus, this book also considers the leading role of the US in the development of information literacy policy. Examples of good practise will be presented and analysed and are drawn primarily from North America and Australasia, however, issues drawn from Europe are also discussed.
