Librarians tend to use the concept of information literacy in a broad sense - encompassing more than just computers and the Internet.
Computer literacy is certainly a necessary part of information literacy. But, Information literacy involves more that just skill using information technology.
Rather, it entails finding information, understanding it, evaluating its sources, and knowing how to use what has been found. This involves not just a learned process, but also critical and creative thinking. | Information Literacy Links Sites for Students: CORE - Purdue University Information Literacy and You - Penn State Texas Information Literacy Tutorial Professional & Academic Sites: |
