Abstract:
A novel concept for the world of publishing in this field, Only Connect has been produced primarily as an electronic book to incorporate multimedia resources. Initial viewing of the printed version proved somewhat disconcerting due to the lack of an index and the ‘chapter chooser’ which encourages a non-linear engagement with the book. However, after reading the introduction, this becomes completely logical as there is no sense of a clear progression between chapters. This book has been designed around a range of interpretations and experiences of information literacy (IL) from a number of perspectives. The chapter chooser recommends starting to read at any point and navigating in any order. In fact, the only theme that links these chapters is that of a form of information literacy.
