What is Information Literacy
What is Information Literacy?
According to the TSU website:
"Information Literacy is the ability to recognize when information is needed to make decisions or to conduct scholarly research, to locate, evaluate and effectively use the needed information to become independent lifelong learners.
Why Information Literacy is Important?
Information Literacy is important because 'Ultimately, information literate people are those who have learned how to learn. They know how to learn because they know how knowledge is organized, how to find information and how to use information in such a way that others can learn from them. They are people prepared for lifelong learning, because they can always find the information needed for any decision or task at hand.'
