LIS 105: Information Literacy Basics (Klein)
( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)
"To be information literate, a person must be able to recognize when information is needed and have the ability to locate, evaluate, and use effectively the needed information" (American Library Association).
With students' academic progression in mind, and embracing flexibility, growth, and continuous learning, the Association of College & Research Libraries expanded the definition of information literacy to describe "the set of integrated abilities encompassing the reflective discovery of information, the understanding of how information is produced and valued, and the use of information in creating new knowledge and participating ethically in communities of learning" (Association of College & Research Libraries).
This text is written to help students gain the information literacy skills that enable them to find, retrieve, gather, analyze, and use information from a variety of print and electronic sources so they can prosper as students, citizens and life-long learners.
