information.

Information Literate people are those
who have learned how to learn.
They know how 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.

Committee on Information Literacy, 1989.p.1.
 Information Literacy and
Student Learning
To become effective information users,
students must have frequent
opportunities to handle all kinds of
information. Locating, interpreting,
analyzing, synthesizing, evaluating, and
communicating information should
become a part of every subject across
the curriculum.
------- “Information Literacy”, 1995,pp.20-23
