La obra de la poeta canadiense Anne Carson se caracteriza por su juego experimental y por cómo tensa el lenguaje.

En un mundo de hombres, esta matemática dirigió el equipo que hacía funcionar los ordenadores de las naves de la NASA

This is about school libraries. It has more ideas about literacy/ reading but also a few related to information literacy. Maxwell, L. (2026). 50 Library Lessons and Ideas. Facet Publishing.

An interesting open access book was published last month. You can download it or read it online. Farrell, H. & McCarthy, K. (Eds.) (2026). Manifesto for Generative AI in Higher Education: The Book Project: A living reflection on teaching, learning, and technology in an age of abundance. Pressbooks. https://pressbooks.pub/mfaihe/ It addresses the question "What kind of education do we want to create in a world where GenAI is readily available?" It consists of 30 chapters, each of which is prompted by a manifesto statement (which becomes the chapter title). The chapters I've read are stimulating and good starting points for discussion or action. I will highlight the chapter coauthored by my longtime writing partner, Bill Johnston: Johnston, B., MacNeill, S. & Smyth, K. The future classroom is a conversation, and it can be extraordinary. https://pressbooks.pub/mfaihe/chapter/the-future-classroom-is-a-conversation-and-it-can-be-extraordinary/ Photo by Sheila Webber: tree near the cablecar station, Zagreb, I think it's a beech, September 2026

The revised ACRL Framework for Information Literacy 2026 has been approved and is now the default one on the ACRL website at https://www.ala.org/acrl/standards/ilframework. You can find the previous version at https://www.ala.org/sites/default/files/acrl/content/issues/infolit/framework1.pdf. I haven't yet looked at it properly, but there are not any huge revisions (e.g. the frames have not changed their names).  Revisions respond to tech developments, and also to acknowledge diverse "learner realities" & journeys, and diverse ways of knowingt. Other tweaks are also interesting. For example:  - The old version, in the introduction, said that the Framework "grows out of a belief that information literacy as an educational reform movement will realize its potential only through a richer, more complex set of core ideas"- the new one says it "positions information literacy (IL) as an educational reform movement with a foundation in a rich, complex set of core ideas." (implying that progress has been made).  - Defining Authority Is Constructed and Contextual, the old version says  "Information resources reflect their creators’ expertise and credibility, and are evaluated based on the information need and the context in which the information will be used. Authority is constructed in that various communities may recognize different types of authority. It is contextual in that the information need may help to determine the level of authority required." and the new version  "Information resources reflect their creators’ expertise, credibility, and the context in which the information is created. Resources are evaluated based on the information need and the context in which the information will be used. Authority is constructed: various communities create and recognize different types of authority when seeking or encountering information. It is also contextual: the information need of the individual or community may help to determine the form of authority required to fulfill that need."  The new one puts further emphasis on the context of information creation, and expands the explanation of both authority and context.
