In the academic, education and library worlds we have been using the term information literacy to cover a very broad spectrum of different types of literacies. And here is the most interesting thing: school librarians have been teaching these literacies forever under the terms of library skills and research skills.

Biographical note
Ewa Dziedzic Elliott has spent over 10 years as a K-12 school librarian in the state of New Jersey. As an executive board member and a president of New Jersey Association of School Librarians she stood at the helm of the association during the time when teaching information literacy became a law in January 2023.
She has exercised the state standards revisions and writing: NJDOE State Standards: Information and Media Literacy 2019-2020; NJ Students Learning Standards Review 2019; ELA Instructional Unit Standards 2019.
Dziedzic-Elliott recently published articles focus on college readiness and closing the research gaps between K-12 and college/ academic institutions, such as (Valenza, J. K., Dalal, H., Mohamad, G., Boyer, B., Berg, C., Charles, L. H., . . . Dziedzic-Elliott, E. (2022). First years' information literacy backpacks: What's already packed or not packed? The Journal of Academic Librarianship, 48(4), 102566. doi:10.1016/j.acalib.2022.102566).
Based on experiences accumulated through working on state standards and research, Dziedzic-Elliott strongly believes that information literacy instruction can be the response to the question of closing the college readiness and research gaps between K-12 and higher education.
