I have been reading Kuhlthaus article The Process of Learning From Information She has made me more aware that information literacy requires a process to be followed. " A sense of process allows students to draw on a wide range of skills that they learn throughout their years of schooling for application in everyday living." Kuhlthau explains (in regards to) the abundance of information, "it is not the difficulty of access but the time, effort and difficulty of using the information that are deterrents to library use."
required to which muscertainly didn't take into consideration the affective domains of the information process as stated in Carole Kuhlthau's article 'The Process of Learning From Information'(1995).
The light bulb started to glow dimly when I considered my own learning and research in context with her process. The idea of information as a process rather than set of skills seems more logical now.
I could relate to the typical uncertainty and anxiety identified in her process model as I studied and moved through the research process.
" A wholistic view of the information user encompassing affective experience as well as cognitive aspects is needed.'p7
This knowledge allows us to prepare and reassure students about these feelings and address them as they arise.
