Approaches to Information Literacy for Creative Arts Students  \nLeo Appleton, Goldsmiths, University of London  \nGustavo Grandal Montero, Chelsea College of Arts/Camberwell College of Arts Abigail Jones, London College of Fashion  \nAbstract  \nThis paper discusses the information literacy requirements of art and design students, and how traditional approaches to information literacy education are not always appropriate for these particular students. The paper argues that different, creative, and innovative approaches to information literacy training need to be developed with the specific learning styles ofthis group of students in mind and that using a radical information literacy approach, incorporating the specific nature ofthe art and design information landscape, enables this. Using the University ofthe Arts London (UAL) as a specific art and design higher education institution, the paper shares three separate case studies which demonstrate such approaches including the incorporation of drawing, object-based learning, and enquiry-based learning into information literacy.  \nKeywords: art students; design students; drawing; visual literacy; object based learning; art and design; arts education  \nAppleton, L., Grandal Montero, G., & Jones, A.

To achieve this, the paper will introduce some specific concepts such as object-based learning and radical information literacy, which have been used to inform an ever-developing information literacy practice at UAL. These theories will be expanded upon during the course of the article, which will describe three case studies that link the theory to practice.  \nUAL is a large university specialising in creative arts higher education and research. It is the largest university in Europe to specialise in art and design, and is dispersed across London through its six high profile colleges: Camberwell College of Arts; Central Saint Martins; Chelsea College of Arts; London College of Communication; London College of Fashion; Wimbledon College of Arts  \nUAL has approximately 19,000 students studying a range ofart, design, fashion, media and performance programmes. This includes a high profile ‘Foundation’ programme as well as a large portfolio of taught undergraduate and postgraduate courses. UAL attracts students from all over the world resulting in a very high proportion of international students (49% in 2015). UAL also has a very strong research profile within the arts disciplines and has a number of active researchers and doctoral candidates.  \nTeaching and Learning in Arts Education  \nUAL can be regarded as a monotechnic, predominantly delivering art and design-oriented programmes and research projects.
