8. Information Literacy “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” (Cilip) The Arcadia report: “Information literacy can be defined as a set of skills, attributes and behaviour that underpins student learning in the digital age. It has been linked to graduate employability and increasingly UK universities are developing information literacy strategies to inform how they ensure students acquire these competencies during their undergraduate studies.” (Secker and Coonan, 2013) CILIP. 2013.
