AGUILAR TREJO, José Luis  and  MOCTEZUMA FRANCO, Abraham. Delimiting the concept of Literacy: A proposal for a better understanding. Comuni@cción [online]. 2020, vol.11, n.2, pp.153-163. ISSN 2219-7168.  http://dx.doi.org/10.33595/2226-1478.11.2.428.

The "informational" is not the equivalent of "literacy". The following article analyzes the concept of "literacy" from the disarticulation of what has been called "information literacy". We believe that the understanding and definition of "literacy" is important because we live in an era in which its use and application has been distorted to the degree of making it contradictory to its true meaning, a consequence of this, is the incorrect handling that is done hers by likening her to the "informational." Therefore, throughout the document, what “literacy” is and how it should be understood will be developed and exposed. The objective is to make the academic community aware of a conceptual proposal that can help a clearer and more organized study of this phenomenon, which is rooted in the educational area but with a presence in other academic disciplines, as well as in different settings and contexts in the field of knowledge.

Keywords : Literacy; ICT; multi-literacy; print environment; digital environment.
