Information Literacy
What is information literacy? – The ability to access, use, and evaluate information in all sources and formats. (American Association of School Librarians and Association for Educational Communications and Technology, 64)
In order for students to be information literate, they will need access to print, electronic, and Internet sources. Without a variety of resources, students will not achieve their greatest potential as life-long learners.
