Sammanfattning

I artikeln presenteras delresultat från ett doktorand-projekt om informationskompetenspraktiker i svenskt vardagsliv: unga kvinnors (18-23 år) informations-kompetenspraktiker när de väljer preventivmedel. Syftet är att förstå de unga kvinnornas perspektiv som det kommer till uttryck i deras berättelser om val och värdering av informationskällor om preven-tivmedel.En metod inspirerad av narrativa intervjuer an-vändes i kombination med visuella verktyg. Resultat från tidigare intervjuer och observationer från ung-domsmottagningar användes också i analysen, som gjordes med de analytiska ingångarna verktyg, me-ningserbjudanden, kognitiv auktoritet och ansatser till bedömning av trovärdighet.Analysen visar att störst auktoritet gav de unga kvinnorna, genom tillit, till nära relationer. Mest användbara var barnmorskor och ungdomsmottag-ningar, som gavs auktoritet genom sin professionella utbildning. Kontroll och balans var de ansatser till bedömning av trovärdighet som användes. Länken mellan barnmorskorna och staten diskute-ras liksom den varierande förståelsen av källkritisk vokabulär. Slutligen görs en kritisk granskning av den dominerande uppfattningen att informations-kompetenspraktiker endast relaterar till text samt den underförstådda kausala relationen mellan informationskompetens och agerande.

Method inspired by narrative interviews was used in combination with visual aids. Findings of previous relevant studies that included interviews and observations at youth centres are also drawn upon. The material was analyzed with the analytical concepts of tools, affordances, cognitive authority, and approaches to credibility assessment. It was found that the most important affordances, according to the young women, were close relations, attributed authority through trust. Furthermore, the most useful affordances, according to the young women, were midwives and youth centres, authority based on their professional training. Control and balance were the used approaches to credibility assessment. The association between the midwives and the state is discussed as well as the varying understanding of the tools of source criticism vocabulary. Finally, the predominant understanding of information literacy practices as related to texts only and implied causal relations between information literacy skills and actions are critically examined.",
