Text analysis provides a new way to look at conversations about a core area of librarianship. What words are we using to discuss information literacy? Who is tweeting and retweeting on this topic? As librarians think and talk about our shifting approach to information literacy, a text analysis of tweets can shed some light on what we are saying, how we are saying it, and who is saying it.
