Diffiniad Definition  Information literacy is knowing when and why you need information, where to find it, and how to evaluate, use and communicate it in an ethical manner.

Diffiniad Definition  This definition implies several skills. We believe that the skills (or competencies) that are required to be information literate require an understanding of:  A need for information  The resources available  How to find information  The need to evaluate results  How to work with or exploit results  Ethics and responsibility of use  How to communicate or share your findings  How to manage your findings

Understanding Information Literacy: A Primer (UNESCO) If you only remember one paragraph from this publication, here is the one we hope it will be: “Over the course of your lifetime, the more you learn and thereby come to know, but especially the sooner you master and adopt proficient learning skills, habits and attitudes – finding out how, from where, from whom and when to search for and retrieve the information that you need to know, but have not yet learned – the more information literate you thereby become. Your competency in applying and utilizing those skills, habits and attitudes will enable you to make sounder and timelier decisions to cope with your personal and family health and welfare, educational, job-related, citizenship and other challenges.”
