‘Weathervanes of their Communities’ – The Sanderson Review, public libraries and information literacy futures

Feeney, Drew; Goldstein, Stephane

Abstract

Recent independent reviews of public library services in England have argued for a more comprehensive and cohesive strategy to promote the many benefits of these services. However a critical lack of quality data to support these conclusions, particularly on the impact of information literacy formation, means that such reviews are in danger of missing further opportunities to develop the wide and varied roles public libraries play in their communities.
