About the Journal

The Journal of Information Literacy (JIL) is an international peer-reviewed journal and is aimed at librarians, information professionals and academics who teach and/or research aspects of information literacy. The journal includes articles from established and new authors that investigate many different areas of information literacy, including school, academic and national libraries, health care settings, and the public sector such as the workplace and government. 

The Journal of Information Literacy seeks innovative and challenging research articles and project reports which push the boundaries of information literacy thinking in theory, practice and method, and which aim to develop deep and critical understandings of the role, contribution and impact of information literacies in everyday contexts, education, health care and the workplace. 

We generally do not publish articles about digital literacy or educational technology but will consider submissions in these areas if they are grounded in the literature and scholarship of information literacy. Submissions that do not substantially reference and review scholarship in the field of information literacy will not be considered. 

If in doubt, please send a enquiry about the suitability of your prospective submission to the journal's editors. We actively encourage and support submissions from underrepresented groups -- such as by race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, disability -- in the information sector as well as the sharing of expertise between all information literacy professionals. We also welcome inquiries about or suggestions of alternative formats, including multimedia or art/illustration-based work.
