Transliteracy in Complex Information Environments covers the latest information in this relatively new concept which has attracted a great deal of interest in the library and information field, particularly among practitioners. The notion of transliteracy arises in the context of increasingly complex information and communication environments characterised by multimodality and new roles of creators and consumers. Transliteracy concerns the ability to apply and transfer a range of skills and contextual insights to a variety of settings. Rather than focusing on any one skillset or technology, transliteracy is about fluidity of movement across a range of contexts. This book considers transliteracy in relation to other literacies and positions it as an overarching concept and information framework, also considering the topic in relation to academic and national cultures. Provides an overarching model of transliteracy based on the well-established information literacyRelates to a number of professional and academic fields, such as library and information, education, communication, media, and cultural studiesIntegrates both professional and academic perspectives INDICE: I.
