Framework of improving information literacy skills of public libraries of the IRAN

Purpose: The purpose of the research is to provide a framework for improving information literacy skills training for the audiences of public libraries related to the institution of public libraries of the country.

Method: The research type is practical and it belongs to mixed studies. The research community included 4 information literacy frameworks and 18 information literacy experts of the country. Research data by combining three content analysis approaches of information literacy frameworks, three round-trips of the Delphi panel of information literacy experts and DEMATEL Technique; were collected and analyzed and presented using invivo, Excel, MATLAB and XMind version 8 software.

Findings: The components of the proposed framework were identified with 7 main components and 52 indicators. The highest value of relative weight and degree of importance was related to the two components "information dissemination" (10.482) and "information evaluation" (9.712), and the component "combination of information" (9.434) had the lowest degree of importance compared to other components. The components were obtained.

Conclusion: The resulting framework can be used at more detailed levels in the formulation and design of context-oriented micro-models of information literacy in different types of public libraries and be effective in increasing the skills of the large audience of these libraries. Utilizing information literacy frameworks as a practical strategy for teaching and improving information literacy skills in public libraries can be considered as one of the strategies for sustainable information development of societies.
