Abstract
Information Literacy (IL), i.e. dealing with information competently, is considered a key competence from an early age for members of the networked information society. Despite its growing importance, IL only sporadically finds its place in education systems at present. One reason is the lack of a scientifically proven model to operationalize, measure and support IL as an integrated part of the curriculum. This paper contributes to filling this gap by providing a framework that enhances the building and measuring of information literacy. The results of a two-year research project showed that most students were able to increase their IL-Skills, but were not prepared to re-evaluate their previous strategies. The question arises as to how students can be motivated to reflect on their existing learning strategies and to apply new ones in order to develop their digital information literacy.
