Information Literacy Education
The set of skills needed to find, retrieve, analyze, and
use information. Information literacy is more closely tied to
course-integrated instruction but it extends far beyond
coordination
between
the
reference
librarian
and
the
individual faculty member. Even a cursory review of the
Information Literacy Competency Standards
will show that
there is much more to information literacy competence than
library-related
research.
Students
must
demonstrate
competencies in formulating research questions and in their
ability to use information as well as an understanding of
ethical and legal issues surrounding information. This
requires a campus culture of collaboration and focus on student
learning.
