When the library steps in: introducing media and information literacy as a programme for library professionals

Abstract

Media and information literacy (MIL) was recently introduced in the Philippines, and De La Salle University (DLSU) Libraries partnered with UNESCO-based pedagogy to offer a seminar-workshop series for public school teacher-librarians. The project report outlines the five-module MIL curriculum—understanding MIL, media audiences, media cultures, interpretation, collaboration—and shares participant feedback showing improved understanding and application of MIL values in their educational roles.
