Heidi Yarget seeks to "spend some time unpacking the concept of a literacy framework and what might be missing." The argument here is that information literacy ought to be about more than just fact checking. "Rather than considering whether these stories are true or false, we will closely read these personal accounts to consider what we might learn about values, identity, and power when we challenge ourselves to look at these resources with compassionate analysis." To this point I'm fine, though I personally draw the line when the expectation is that I treat such stories as true.
