Information+Literacy

==In the information age in which we live, it is impossible to know everything about any one subject. Students must acquire the skills to locate information, analyze that information, and use it to perform required tasks. Information literacy equips students with the skills necessary to become lifelong learners.== ==As the [|American Library Association Presidential Committee on Information Literacy] (January 10, 1989, Washington, D.C.) says “Ultimately, information literate people are those who have learned how to learn. They know how to learn because they know how knowledge is organized, how to find information, and how to use information in such a way that others can learn from them. They are people prepared for lifelong learning, because they can always find the information needed for any task or decision at hand.”==
