ANCIL definition of information literacy:<\/p>\n

“Information literacy is a continuum of skills, behaviours, approaches and values that is so deeply entwined with the uses of information as to be a fundamental element of learning, scholarship and research. It is the defining characteristic of the discerning scholar, the informed and judicious citizen, and the autonomous learner.” (on https:\/\/newcurriculum.wordpress.com\/2012\/01\/13\/blue-skies-a-new-definition-of-information-literacy\/<\/a> )<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Prague Declaration “Towards an Information Literate Society” of 2003<\/p>\n

“Information Literacy encompasses knowledge of one\u2019s information concerns and needs, and the ability to identify, locate, evaluate, organize and effectively create, use and communicate information to address issues or problems at hand; it is a prerequisite for participating effectively in the Information Society, and is part of the basic human right of life long learning.” (on\u00a0https:\/\/docs.google.com\/file\/d\/0B3SNEP9j56rIMjM4OGJiNWItM2E4Ni00Yjc0LWJjYTctZDMxZTVlOGYyMDAy\/edit?ddrp=1&pli=1&hl=en<\/a> )<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
