An Introduction to the Information Fluency Framework 

In this online meet-up Carmel Grimmett and June Wall will take you through the journey that led to the development of the Information Fluency Framework by NSW Public School teacher librarians. An overview of the framework will enable you to see how this could be used in your school. This online meet-up is recommended for all participants attending the SLANSW Professional Learning Summit, Information and Innovation: Information Fluency Framework and Digital Literacy, on 10 September 2022, as it provides an introduction to the IFF that will be further explored in the opening keynote and facilitated workshops. This course is relevant for Primary and Secondary Teacher Librarians.
