I just came across Andrew Whitworth's article in the J. of IL about how he uses the relational frame described in the 6 frames of information literacy (see Bruce, Edwards, & Lupton) to design learning activities in a course he teaches at the University of Manchester. He nicely explains the need to bring the perspectives of each of the 6 frames into view. He notes the importance of the content and competency frames, which he associates with scientific ways of knowing (information is objective). Combined with the other frames in which information is understood either as subjective or intersubjective, a more comprehensive understanding is made possible. Quite interesting!
