Information Literacy
Information literacy is a set of abilities
     requiring individuals to "recognize when
information is needed and have the ability to
      locate, evaluate, and use effectively the
                         needed information."
An information literate individual is able to:


         Determine the extent of information needed
         Access the needed information effectively and efficiently
         Evaluate information and its sources critically
         Incorporate selected information into one’s knowledge base
         Use information effectively to accomplish a specific purpose
         Understand the economic, legal, and social issues surrounding the
          use of information, and
         access and use information ethically and legally


       Note: ACRL Information Literacy Competency Standards for Higher
       Education will be used as a guideline as we develop our program.
