Abstract
How might ideas from pragmatism lead us to reconsider information literacy? Following an introduction to pragmatism, community inquiry, and modes of reading, this presentation considers three examples: (1) a study of digital literacy in Irish primary schools, (2) an activity in which youth investigate community information spaces, and (3) problems with the standard model of information access.
