Information – the ability to access, organize and use information from a variety of sources
(Ofsted).

-  is 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.

Communication is simply the act of transferring information from one place, person or
group to another. Every communication involves (at least) one sender, a message and
a recipient. ... These include our emotions, the cultural situation, the medium used to
communicate, and even our location.

Information Literacy – is an understanding and set of abilities enabling individuals to

recognize when information is needed and have the capacity to locate, evaluate, and
use effectively the needed information.

-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.

What are the steps of information literacy?

Answer
The steps of information literacy are as follows:

Define.  The first is that you have to define your need, your problem, or the
question.  You have to know what information you need. 

Find.  The second step is being able to find the information; locate it, access it,
and retrieve it.  You can do that from a variety of sources.  These sources include print
which are books, magazines and texts; electronic means; or human information
sources, meaning we ask someone, ask an expert, or ask a colleague. 

Evaluate.  Once you have the information, then you need to assess the credibility
of it.  Just because you have the information at your fingertips does not mean it is good
information.  Is it the information that you need?  Is it valid?  Is it reliable? 
 Organize.  You then have to organize that information so you can use it.  If you
have ever Googled something, you know you can get a million hits and you have to
figure out if you got the best information, and organize everything that you have
compiled. 

Communicate.  The last step of information literacy is communicating that

information.  You have to communicate it appropriately to whomever; a client,
colleague, doctor or the community.  You have to make sure you are doing that both
legally and ethically.
