Information Literacy

Information Literacy is defined by the ACRL as "the set of skills needed to find, retrieve, analyze, and use information."

Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL)

Information literacy definition: Learners in all situations receive and process information in many different ways. Therefore, information literacy is the finding of information in the myriad sources available to the learner, the learner's evaluation of information as relevant, appropriate, and credible for the task at hand, and the learner's ethical use of the new information. Ideally, classroom faculty and librarians collaborate to guide learners to these skills and strategies.
