and nuanced local knowledges that are specific to the performance in a setting, requires that additional toolsbe added to information literacy researchers' methodological toolbox. One such tool, interview to the double(ITTD), is introduced and explored through a study that focused on understanding howaged-careworkers developedtheir understanding of safety in the workplace. The addition of the ITTD technique was to recover localknowledges that are present in the daily routines of workers or available only at the moment of practice.
