What is information literacy?
Information literacy is the ability to recognize when information is needed and be able to locate, evaluate, and effectively use that information. This sounds easy, but with an over abundance of information it can be very challenging.
You will need information literacy skills during your academic studies in college, in the workplace, and in your personal life. This guide helps you learn how to put these skills into practice in an academic environment by learning about the Research Process. The research process is an effective way to locate information on a particular topic for a research paper, presentation, or other project.
