In "Promoting literacy in a digital age: approaches to training for information literacy," different types of literacy (computer literacy, library literacy, media literacy, network literacy and digital literacy) are analyzed and compared. Bawden, the author, argues what, in his mind, are the seven "key characteristics" of information-literate people. Within the article, he describes different situations in which being literate in all of these forms is necessary because many classes and jobs are switching to newer forms of literacy.
Bawden is using an arguement of definition, in that he is trying to define what literacy is today when there are so many new forms. He then argues that everybody should learn these varying forms of literacy in order to excel in life.
