Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter › peer-review

Abstract

Large language models (LLMs) drastically change the way we produce and search for information and thereby create new challenges to how we evaluate information as well. After briefly reviewing the history of information literacy, we argue that the developments of LLMs require us to update our information literacy curricula to meet the goals of the now conventional framework of information literacy introduced by the American Library Association (2015).
