AI-generated Abstract

Information literacy (IL) is a dynamic and evolving concept essential for informed citizenship and personal autonomy in navigating today's complex information environments. The ACRL's 2016 Framework emphasizes the necessity of critical thinking in IL, leading to a broadened understanding of its relevance across various contexts, including education, everyday life, and professional settings. This paper advocates for the CILIP 2018 definition as a transformative step in IL education, highlighting the need for effective training in information competencies, particularly for translation students, to facilitate their ongoing professional development.
