Internet Literacy Handbook: Supporting Users in the Online World Year of publication: 2017 Author: Janice Richardson | Elizabeth Milovidov | Martin Schmalzried Corporate author: Council of Europe Since the first edition of the Internet Literacy Handbook was issued in 2003 the world of the Internet has changed tremendously. The number of Internet users has risen; users are increasingly younger, trends in how people use the Internet and what they are looking for evolve, and new pitfalls in, for example, personal security arise seemingly overnight.This new edition takes into account the myriad changes, although the object of the Handbook still remains, namely to offer families, educators and policy-makers sufficient technical know-how to allow them to navigate, with young people, through communication technology. The new edition also expands the scope of the Fact sheets anchoring previously “new” concepts of digital citizenship and digital parenting. This edition includes 26 Fact sheets arranged under 6 thematic headings including a heading specifically dedicated to “Looking Forward” towards the future of the Internet. The Handbook is designed to be easy to use and helpful, as illustrated by the Fact sheet entitled “Finding quality information on the Web”. It is also available online, where it can be downloaded either in its full format or per individual factsheet. Manuel de maîtrise de l'internet: Accompagner les utilisateurs dans le monde en ligne Year of publication: 2017 Author: Janice Richardson | Elizabeth Milovidov | Martin Schmalzried Corporate author: Conseil de l'Europe Depuis la publication de la première édition du Manuel de maîtrise d’Internet en 2003, le monde en ligne a beaucoup changé. Les Internautes sont de plus en plus jeunes, leur nombre a augmenté, leurs usages d’Internet et l’objet de leurs recherches évoluent et de nouveaux dangers, par exemple en matière de sécurité individuelle, apparaissent chaque jour. Cette nouvelle édition tient compte de ces nombreux changements mais conserve son objectif, qui est de donner aux familles, aux enseignants et aux décideurs politiques des connaissances techniques suffisantes pour pouvoir naviguer, avec les jeunes, dans le monde des technologies de la communication. La nouvelle édition étend également le contenu des Fiches d’information aux concepts qui étaient alors «nouveaux» de citoyenneté numérique et de parentalité numérique, ce qui porte le nombre de fiches à 26, organisées en six thématiques dont l’une est spécialement consacrée à l’avenir d’Internet. Le manuel se veut convivial et pratique, comme l’illustre la fiche intitulée « Trouver de l’information de qualité sur le web ». Il est également accessible en ligne où il peut être téléchargé dans son intégralité ou fiche par fiche. 
A Study on Information Literacy in Social Media Age: Focusing on Redefinition, Contents and Media of Information Literacy Year of publication: 2013 Author: Euikyung Oh Corporate author: Korean Society for Library and Information Science This study redefines information literacy (IL) and recommends its contents and media (platforms).

Finally, proposed empirical study of IL using social media by follow-up study.)

Global Media and Information Literacy Assessment Framework: Country Readiness and Competencies Year of publication: 2013 Corporate author: UNESCO The MIL Assessment Framework can foster lifelong learning initiatives by building on the relationship between information, media, digital, and ICT literacies, along with societal transformations, education, workforce, policy and decision making processes, economic growth and democracy. The overall goal of the publication is to guide UNESCO’s Member States throughout the assessment of country readiness and competencies regarding the media and information literacy of citizens, in particular teachers in service and in training. The document is particularly aimed at the following stakeholders: policy makers and decision makers; national officers responsible for statistical data collection and analysis; educational policy makers and planners working in formal and informal education settings; teacher training institutions and teachers.

Input for Report on Disinformation Year of publication: 2021 Corporate author: International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) IFLA responded to a call for inputs about human rights impacts of measures against disinformation, issued by the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of the right to freedom of opinion and expression. Concerns over – and dialogue about ways to address – the negative impacts of false and misleading information online have remained high on the agenda over the past months, particularly in light of prominent examples of health and electoral dis- and mis-information.Disinformation, uniquely challenging in the increasingly dense and complex digital information environment, interferes with individuals’ ability to make informed decisions and realise their essential human rights. However, the new call for inputs by the UN Special Rapporteur also draws attention to the concerns about human rights impacts of measures which different stakeholders – from states to online platforms, human rights organisations and others – take to combat disinformation.These include, of course, the impacts of broadly- or vaguely-defined “fake news” laws on freedom of expression and opinion; or internet shutdowns that bear a heavy cost on people’s access to information as a driver of development and rights.In light of this, IFLA’s submission highlights the potential of media and information literacy interventions to help address the challenges of mis- and dis-information. Drawing on the global library field’s experiences, it points to some possible good practices and insights from the ongoing work and research in this field – from targeted and tailored outreach initiatives that can help reach those who are not currently in formal education, to scalability and replicability of interventions.Of course, this is an emerging field. Our understanding of how media and information literacy interventions can be effectively leveraged against disinformation, pitfalls to avoid and ways to maximise impact, continues to evolve. That’s why the submission emphasises the need for more research and cross-stakeholder collaboration – and libraries can and do offer valuable practical and theoretical insights for this ongoing discussion.
