Abstract
School librarians and academic librarians share a commitment to media and information literacy (MIL) instruction but in the past, to a large extent, approached their work from different theoretical foundations and with different practical strategies. The process approach to MIL instruction, exemplified in Kuhlthau’s Guided Inquiry in the school library sector and in Bruce’s Informed Learning and American College and Research Libraries’ Framework for Information Literacy in Higher Education in the academic library sector, is based on research and theory from both education and library and information science. Other convergences include: constructivist learning principles; attention to the learner’s experience; integration of information use with discipline content; collaboration between librarians and teachers; and emphasis on metacognition and reflection.
