Metaphors for Achieving Information Fluency Drive a car Pass drivers’ exam Use a library Write an essay Give a speech Name State Capitals Check the two that for you come closest! Program a VCR Understand tennis Play tennis Speak French

Components of Information Fluency Find materials on the web & in print Evaluate materials on the web & in print Create a Spreadsheet Create a Web Page in html Place information on the web & in print Organize information against hypotheses Know where to get help when stumped Recognize the perishability of information Check all that apply & add others.

WHY INFORMATION FLUENCY? …the institutional answer Communication & Community! Level Playing Field After College Use Faculty/Students Demand Them Customized/Personalized Digitized Scholarship Marketable Difference
