Information Literacy (and you’ll find a million variations of definitions) is one’s ability to find information, verify its quality, and understand how and when to use it properly. Sound confusing? Kind of a “know about knowing” riddle?
A book about to hit our shelves, Using Technology to Teach Information Literacy, is a compilation of real-world examples of how people are being taught info literacy in classrooms. That makes this a great resource for faculty members, BUT! by understanding how other students learn, it could be a really powerful tool for students.
Information Literacy is valuable for all disciplines in understanding how you can research, stay current, and be well-versed and accurate in your own discipline.
