Abstract | Introduction: This study reports an investigation into the ways in which people engaged in a serious leisure activity can experience using information to learn (also known as information literacy). Method: Data were collected through twenty-two semi-structured, one-on-one, phenomenographic interviews conducted with identified serious leisure participants operating within the area of heritage (as defined by the study). Analysis: Empirical material was gathered through audio recordings and transcripts of the collated interviews. Data were analysed using structural and focused coding methods. Results: The study revealed that serious leisure participants experience using information to learn in four ways: acquiring new information, helping the learning community, self-awareness and entertainment. Conclusions: This study contributes to our understanding of information literacy as it applies to a person's everyday-life leisure world. (As Provided). |
