you need is harder than ever.

What is Information Literacy?
"To be information literate, a person must
be able to recognize when information
is needed and have the ability to locate,
evaluate, and use effectively the
needed information." The American Library Association’s (ALA) Presidential Committee on Information Literacy, Final Report, 1989

In the real world…
• The ability to solve problems &
answer questions using information
& technology
• An understanding of the
ethical/legal issues surrounding the
access and use of information

Why does information

Students are content creators

They need traditional & new
skills

To understand their need for
information
Image: 'Q & A 2.0: Nothing Is Off Limits!'

To find & evaluate reliable
information

To draw conclusions & present
information

To prepare
for post-secondary
education
and

for the global
society &
economy
they will face.

And, because . . .
We limit students if we do not help them
develop and use information literacy skills
across the curriculum.
