The need for accessing educational resources on Information<br />
Literacy has been identified by various professional communities<br />
encouraged this new publication. In order to provide inclusive and<br />
multilingual Information Literacy resources for Library and<br />
Information Science professionals, teachers, researchers, and<br />
students, among others, this second edition brings together<br />
Information Literacy contributions in one-hundred and twentyseven<br />
languages from all over the world.<br />
I am confident that this publication will contribute to both<br />
education and research, to improve the awareness of both users<br />
and experts from different backgrounds and nationalities. In this<br />
spirit, I wish to thank Dr Forest Woody Horton Jr., who has so<br />
proactively researched, advanced and advocated for the concept<br />
of Information Literacy over the last decades. My warm thanks go<br />
to all of the contributors, as well as to their colleagues and the<br />
peer reviewers, for the collective commitment that produced this<br />
unique selection of educational and research resources on<br />
Information Literacy from across the world.<br />
