languages database1, is just a beginning and is still evolving, so we
warmly invite readers to add more languages. If you do not see
your language term as part of the above logo, and/or in the list of
all languages below, and/or you wish to suggest a more current,
standard, additional or alternative IL term, please contact Prof.
Boekhorst at albertkb@gmail.com and Dr. Irmgarda Kasinskaite-
Buddeberg at i.kasinskaite@unesco.org . Also, you can download
Prof. Boekhorst’s latest logo version, as well as the table he
maintains called “Overview of Information Literacy Terms,”
explaining which language each term in the logo represents, at
http://www.ifla.org/en/information-literacy/projects . In summary,
if you speak and are literate in a language that has not yet been
added to our database and wish to volunteer to help prepare a list
of IL resources in your language (perhaps with collaborators), we
would warmly welcome your contribution.
See “Overview of Information Literacy Terms” table containing a
list of all of the languages which appear in the logo for which a
contributor has already provided the appropriate counterpart term
in their own indigenous language for “Information Literacy.” The
terms for the various languages are written most often in the
Roman script traditionally used for writing that language, but,
sometimes, the terms are written in a unique and distinctive script
for that language (e.g. Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Greek,
Arabic, Thai, Bulgarian, Persian, etc.) or, alternatively, in a version
of the Romanized font.
