<br/><br/> This book reviews the role of information literacy (IL) in developing employability skills, personal health management, and informal learning from a variety of areas. These areas include information policy issues and information usage, as well as training needs and skills development. Early years education, lifelong learning and the role of IL in relevant organisations, including government departments, skills agencies, and professional bodies is also addressed in this text. With a UK focus, this book also considers the leading role of the US in the development of information literacy policy. Case studies and examples of good practice are included and discussed, drawn primarily from Europe, North America and Australasia
