In 2014, a framework for information literacy was developed and accepted. The aim was to provide structure for an effective information literacy skills training programme. In 2022 a revision of this framework was accepted and resulted in the inclusion of digital skills. Situated within the larger academic literacies’ ecosystem, digital and information skills inform the training activities provisioned by the Library and Information Service at Stellenbosch University.
Digital and Information Skills Training Framework 2022.pdf

The framework is underpinned by the Association of College & Research Libraries (ACRL) definition of information literacy and Jisc framework of digital capabilities:
  • Information literacy is the set of integrated abilities encompassing the reflective discovery of information, the understanding of how information is produced and valued, and the use of information in creating new knowledge and participating ethically in communities of learning (ACRL, 2015).
  • Jisc defines Digital Capabilities as six overlapping elements: digital identity and wellbeing; ICT proficiency; information, data and media literacies; digital learning and self development; digital creation innovation and scholarship; and, communication, collaboration and participation. Digital identity and wellbeing, and ICT proficiency foregrounds this definition.

Bladsy Inhoud
In 2014 was 'n raamwerk vir inligtingsgeletterdheid ontwikkel en aanvaar. Die doel was om struktuur te voorsien vir 'n effektiewe opleidingsprogram vir inligtingsgeletterdheidsvaardighede. In 2022 was 'n hersiening van hierdie raamwerk aanvaar en het dit gelei tot die insluiting van digitale vaardighede. Geleë binne die groter akademiese geletterdheid ekosisteem, sluit digitale en inligtingsvaardighede die opleidings aktiwiteite wat deur die Biblioteek- en Inligtingsdiens aan die Universiteit Stellenbosch verskaf word in.

Die raamwerk word ondersteun deur die Vereniging van Kollege en Navorsingsbiblioteke (ACRL) definisie van inligtinggeletterdheid en Jisc raamwerk van digitale vermoëns:
  • Information literacy is the set of integrated abilities encompassing the reflective discovery of information, the understanding of how information is produced and valued, and the use of information in creating new knowledge and participating ethically in communities of learning (ACRL, 2015).
  • Jisc definieer digitale vermoëns as ses oorvleuelende elemente: digitale identiteit en welstand; IKT-vaardigheid; inligting, data en media geletterdheid; digitale leer en selfontwikkeling; digitale skeppingsinnovasie en -vakkundigheid;  en kommunikasie, samewerking en deelname. Hierdie deifnisie is gegrond in digitale identiteit en welstand, en IKT-vaardigheid.
