how important information literacy is to empowering learning and development in the workplace

In the Weekly News from CILIP, 22 May 2014 there was an item and link to 'Social learning at work'.

What caught my eye was that I had missed Learning at Work Week which was last week Monday 19 May. The other was "Natasha and Jacqueline blog about how important information literacy is to empowering learning and development in the workplace. ... they also give an update on the work of CILIP’sInformation Literacy Project Board."

It's great to see that information literacy in the workplace is getting attention. The posting covers:

• What is information literacy?
• How does information literacy empower learning at work? 
• How do companies benefit from promoting learning in the workplace? 

Tthe final section is: 

How can I raise awareness of the importance of information literacy?

There are lots of ways to raise awareness:

• Follow @CILIPinfo on Twitter and tweet your support. Promote the importance of information literacy using the hashtag #infolit.
• Find out who your MP is and write to them using www.theyworkforyou.com.
