Sorry, I should have added that many of the FOSIL-based inquiry skills are information literacy skills. However, what I discovered and have since argued, is that these information literacy/ media and information literacy (MIL) skills are logically part of the inquiry process, and so it makes sense to develop them systematically and progressively within the inquiry process (or more narrowly within the research process). This approach is reflected in the IFLA School Library Guidelines (2015), but this shift was well underway before then – for example, the PK-12 framework of skills that undergirds the FOSIL, which includes MIL skills, was first developed in 2009 (and reimagined in 2019).
