The Seventh European Conference on Information Literacy (ECIL)
Résumé
The Abstract Book of the 7th European Conference of Information Literacy! ECIL 2021 is
co-organized by the Department of Information Management of Hacettepe University (Turkey), the Department of Information and Communication Sciences of Zagreb University (Croatia), and the Information Literacy Association (InLitAs) (France).
This year’s theme “Information Literacy in a Post-Truth Era” is debated at a time when fake news, misinformation and disinformation permeate our media and further erode trust in scientific expertise and politics. The central phenomenon of our research and practice, information literacy, is being tested for its real-life value. It has not for a
long time been as clear as it is at this moment that the barriers to the exchange of accurate information and knowledge can exact the heaviest price.
