the question of what can be done to raise information literacy and reception in general. Interestingly, much has been written about the capacity of fictional works to engage the mind
and "transport" one to different worlds; this is interesting because of the engagement required in non-fictional transmission is much the same, and "transportation" is also used as a phrase in
pedagogical circles to refer to the act of successfully imparting information from an authoritative source to a learner. For this reason, some recent scientific studies have looked at the role
that fiction can play in assisting the transmission of information and enhancing the learning process. One such report was produced in 2011 by Janit, Hammock, and Richardson. The goal
of these study was to "compare the instructional efficacy of a narrative text (i.e. a story) and an expository text (i.e. a textbook excerpt" (Janit, Hammock, & Richardson, 2011). The
purpose of the comparison was to determine whether or not a narrative text could be used with greater efficacy in an academic context than is currently the case, even in
