Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

MoreLong description:
This comprehensive and subject-defining handbook draws together the work of an international group of researchers and educators to collectively recognize information literacy (IL) as a maturing soft applied discipline.
Showcasing current and historical scholarly research and including contributions from the world’s leading researchers and practitioners in the field of IL, this handbook provides a rich understanding of the nature of information literacy, including its traditions and significant history, shared approaches to inquiry, base of knowledge, and growing communication networks. Chapters cover:
- Current perspectives on the discipline of information literacy;
- National and international IL advocacy, research and educational development;
- The history of information literacy to present day;
- Theories and methodologies used by IL researchers;
- Ethical concerns and information challenges faced by individuals and societies;
- IL models and approaches that guide IL education and research;
- Information literacy communication networks, conferences and publications.
Authoritative and encyclopaedic in nature, this state-of-the-art handbook presents the substantial impact of recognising IL as a discipline in nurturing new research and education and is an essential read for LIS academics, teachers, administrators, practitioners and students.
What a rich foundation for researchers and practitioners to push the boundaries of information literacy as a discipline, aligning it with many others! The Information Literacy Handbook: Charting the Discipline, edited by Karen Kaufmann and Clarence Maybee, has all the elements to make it highly successful. With contributions from leading scholars worldwide, the book bridges theory, empirical research, and practice training to shape the discipline’s next directions.
